Well surgery is tomorrow! Im not nervous at all, but i'm sure something may hit me tomorrow. I report to Maryview hospital (portsmouth, VA) at 7 a.m. for check in and surgery will be at 9.

 

I have been on a liquid diet for 7 days now and lost about 7 lbs. Alot of people on here say their DRs are not requiring them to have one. But after the research i've done I do recommend it. It helps shrink the liver. Considering that is in the way of the stomach it prevents injury from them moving it around. Plus it kick starts weightloss and prevents the last meal syndrome. I hated it at first but my calorie intake went from around 3000 to 900 a day. After a few days the hunger isnt as bad.

 

Overall im excited for this next step!

I agree with you....I had to do clear liquids for five days pre op. After I while the growing in my stomach did not bother me anymore and it did help kick start the weight loss. I am now six days post op and on full liquids which is like being in heaven.!!
