Congrats! I was just scheduled as well. I start pre-op on Monday and have surgery on March 2nd. Good luck!

my surgery date is the same day! March 2nd.........i start my liver reduction diet tomorrow...i am having second thoughts, but I am sure that my feelings are normal. Just nervous and wondering how I am going to transition my life from all about eating to well not? How will I go weeks on end without eating....this forum helps though.

Band sisters...I love it! Had my first shake this morning, but I normally have a shake for Breakfast, I'm sure that by lunch it'll hit me.

I'm having second thoughts mainly due to the anesthesia. Its funny because I've dealt with cancer before and have had multiple surgeries, but for some reason I am terrified beyond belief!

I'm afraid to have my first PB, stuck episode and all the other things that come with it. I do love the fact that I have great support systems.

Let's keep each other updated!

No fear u came this far, I just had gallbladder surgery in Jan. The anatheshia is the greatest part. I was out before I hit the operating room. I am worried abt the shoulder pain I had with the galbladder surg. Its from the co2 and the sore throat from the breathing tub. But, it will be worth it when I can wear shorts this summer. I am on the liver reduction diet. Its tough so far..is yours total liquid diet? ? Popiciles never tasted so good. Are u on Facebook?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
