The partial liquid diet includes 4 high Protein Meal Replacement shakes daily. (I'm using the Atkins high Protein Shakes. I found 6 pks of of the shakes for $5.78 at Wal-Mart) I can also have 1 small fruit or 1/2 cup cooked/1 cup raw non-starchy vegetables; 1 vegetable only salad with 2 tbsp light or low fat salad dressing; 1 frozen entree (250 calories or less and approximately 30 grams of carbohydrates or less). I also need to drink 48-64 fl oz calorie-free beverages daily. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Wish me luck!

Great news! I'm scheduled for surgery on 6/5/13. Dr. Bradley Needleman will be performing my surgery at OSU Hospital here in Columbus. I have one final pre-op appointment with the anesthesiologists tomorrow. I have to do the dreaded 2 week liver shrink liquid diet prior to surgery. It's not a completely liquid diet thank goodness.

Hello everyone. I'm in Columbus, Ohio. I too am seeking a buddy/buddies in my local area. I am scheduled for my pre-op appointment on May 14, 2013. I'll receive my surgery date then. The secretary thinks that it'll be some time in early June. I'm nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time. I just want to be certain that I am making the right decision. Anyone else experiencing a similar emotional rollercoaster?

I have MMO insurance. I'm in Columbus, Ohio and will have surgery at OSU Hospital. My file was submitted to insurance on 4/18/13 and was approved on 4/29/13. So a little less than 2 weeks. I scheduled for my pre-op appointment next Tuesday 5/14/13. I'll receive my surgery date on that day. They think that it'll be in early June. I'm excited. Let us know how things go with you.
