I am having surgery 5-13-14. The nutritionist contacted me right away. 4 weeks out you drink 2 low carb protein shakes and 1 low calorie frozen dinner daily. Plus 4 cups daily of salad greens and 1-2 cups daily cooked green vegetables. No fruit. 2 weeks out is their special shakes- 3 daily, plus vitamins, plus the greens. I want the plication but Dr. Ortiz said he would have to decide when he was in there. I am having a revision over scar tissue. I am from Texas.
