Support is key to getting through this. And read as much as you can and understand that the bad posts really are few and between compared to the positives. Stay focused and know you have friends going through this with you. My pre op was the 5 shakes a day, sugar free jello/popcicles and broth of my choice. I can send you details, but your doc will probably have his own. And most importantly, know that the pre-op is more than just shrinking your liver. Its too firm it up as well. This is so important when you have your sugery. My insurance allows for one attempt. If they go in and the liver is in the way, no second chance. So the initiative to stay focused is pretty high for me! and lastly...saw your profile and Im a Navy husband! LOL
