update!
Ok I went to my surgeon's office today to get a sonogram on my gallbladder to check for stones and my legs to check for clots in my veins. She looked at my gallbladder and told my I do have stones and that she would give me a prescription to dissolve them. Then she looked at my liver and told me I have a moderately fatty liver. She said the liquid diet will shrink my liver down to mildly fatty and reduce the size of it to make surgery go a lot easier. Then she did a sonogram on my legs. I have no clots in my legs but the cool thing was that she said I have very muscular legs in which most people who know me know I do. I guess it is first from years of playing softball and then being fat and carrying this weight. After seeing the sonographer, I went to see the dietitian. She gave me my two week liquid diet list. Breakfast: high protein slim fast, snack: high protein slim fast, lunch: high protein slim fast, snack: high protein slim fast, dinner: high protein slim fast, snack: 1 cup of broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable). Then in between I can have all the crystal light, water, broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and other non-carbonated, decaffeinated, sugar free clear liquids. I start tomorrow. yay me!
