misscarrie36 24 Posted March 10, 2013 Also important to take up a hobby especially if you are a snacker. I started crocheting to keep my hands busy. Water is definitely the answer I have taken up sleeping as my new hobby lol 2 donnie_annis and donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionbird 25 Posted March 11, 2013 I wonder if we have the same surgeon. Mine deal is shakes and liquids only with the exception of sf Jello and sf popsicles, oh and broth if I'm gonna die. I'm on day 19 of this liquid diet and surgery is Thursday. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted March 11, 2013 I would be a mess if I woke up and the doctor didn't do the surgery. I am going to call tomorrow and ask about the Protein. I understand not having sugar and carbs but the nurse also told me you won't be hungry!! What a joke. This is hell and I consider myself very strong willed. I have lost 6lbs since I started the shakes Friday morning. I understand shrinking the liver is important but I still feel 14 days with nothing but shakes is unrealistic..... that is the exact reason i did not cheat. i can honestly say that and its not said with arrogance it was done solely so i did not wake up and dr said, guess what. it made me try harder.

Dragonfly8a 25 Posted March 11, 2013 Now I'm a bit scared, I do not want to wake up on my surgery and find out that nothing happened because I cheated one day!!! But the patient advocate told me that I can cheat one day since it was my birthday. I ate at IHOP a 330 calorie omelette, side order of hashbrowns and 2 cups of coffee w/splenda and for dinner 2 hotwings and alot of veggies with regular ranch, 2 beers, 2 shots, 1 mix drink....didn't get to eat much because I got busy with my guest. HELP!! What should I do to make up for this day. More Water? more Protein uugghhh!!! my surgery is this coming thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasJeff 179 Posted March 11, 2013 My Doctor did not require the 2 week pre-op diet. Seems extreme to me. 1 Dragonfly8a reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
