    A few questions come to mind...Are you weighing and measuring every morsel of food? Are you logging it somewhere, for instance MFP (myfitnesspal)? Are you getting in your required fluids everyday? ...

  12. Re: Will I ever be able to skull a small glass of water again

  13. Re: Pre-Op Diet, how many days should I be on it?

    Please listen to what your doc says and no one else! As far as shrinking your liver, the main reason for this is to make the surgeon's job easier so that he/she doesn't have to move it out of the...

    Re: At a Standstill

    Don't know how often you are weighing yourself but do try and stay off the scale for at least a week. The stall will break.
