Hi arleen63, I am new to the form too so I understand. My diet was simple and lasted 2 weeks. 70 gram of protien and 30 carbs (avoid sugar, day before surgery liquid diet). They allowed me to eat Thanksgiving dinner with no restrictions due to it was early in the two weeks and I decided to start a day early to make up for the day I would eat. Do what your doctor says as they want your liver to be small as this makes the surgery safe for you. Find a protien to help you get over hunger pains and head hunger at least this is what help me. After 3 - 4 days I did not have a carb crave and I was able to manage the diet. I know everyone is different. When you fall off the diet get right back on that same moment and keep going as you can do it and the payoff will be good. Drink plenty of water too! Take care and I hope all goes well! AKTX

Big Congrats MrsDwD!! I am glad all went well for you and the pain is just a "bit". Hang in there it only gets better from here. Yeah we did it!! AKTX

Dear December Sleevers, I had my surgery Dec 4 and all went well. I am recoverying now and have good hopes for the future. The first day was a blur and the second day I was unconfortable with gas pains. The surgery itself is not hard to handle and I am glad I went through it. For those of you who will have your surgery later this month I have one tip and that is don't be afraid to ask for help and encouragement if you need it; surgery is a big decision. My family was there and supported me all the way even when I had doubt. My doctor was a big support with just few words to me personally that really help me. Thanks to all you who have giving me encouragement. God Bless, AKTX

Hello December 2012 Sleevers! My surgery is first case tomorrow morning. I am a bit anxious about surgery. I know I will be okay it is just that I must go through the process.
