<p>It is those very people I wanted to avoid telling so I just chose not to tell anyone other than my husband and son. I have never regretted my decision NOT to tell anyone else.</p>

Thanks Willow13 feel better I was worried if it did get out they'd think I was ashamed which I am not ashamed to live longer and give my son a better parent x

Exciting times!!!!! Xxx

I am not ashamed just not willing to be judged any longer so what they don't know doesn't hurt them and why should I tell them. If I were having my appendix removed I wouldn't have to explain my choices to them so don't see this as any different lol.

Good luck with your operation, you will have to let us know how you get on. It seems like such a long time ago now since I was starting the pre-op diet.

Anyone else had a bit of anxiety & OMG a few days before surgery, if it's positive I want all it's got to offer but I'm terrified it goes wrong or I get complications :-( ???

I think some anxiety is normal Betty. I know I was excited about my new life but the wory about complicationcomplications crept in as it go it closer, my main worry was actually the hospital stay itself though and not the actual op as I had faith in my surgeon.

Yeah I could still say I'm happy doing it and happy with who's doing it, I just feel really anxious that a I wake up again (little bit) have life altering complications (more worried)! But overall I can take a deep breath and say this will be ok but there's that niggling feeling that won't go away till a few weeks after I guess x

Hi Bettygirl , I'm three wks out Tues and felt like you do

I believe everyone gets scared and truly it comes down to the decision to not think about the scary things.

It's not a magic formula, it's better than that, it's simply life and mind over matter.

Every day, before and after, has brought both thrills and spills and this way I know I'm still in control and I'm strong enough to do it and so are you. Have faith you've got this, keep moving forward.

Thanks so much, as long as I come out of the other side with my health and complication free I can ride whatever waves comes at me next! Thanks though, and I wish you all the success and best wishes in the world x

Well, start my milk diet tomorrow

So looking forward to that, NOT, oh well, it has to be done.... Having my last bacon butty at mo, and probably a curry tonight, the last of the last. Oh, and of course a glass or two of wine. Going out to buy my milk today, but let me not forget my three sticks of sugar free gum and cup of bovril, already got my sugar free jellies at the ready.... haha be a scream... I know it'll soon pass, and it's a mean to an ends. So two weeks of the milk diet and then my operation, yippppeeeeeee

Everyone's preop diets are so different mine has been 3 weeks of 1000kals a day low fat low carb so I've had omelettes and chicken salad everyday but I've found that ok I'd have struggled with liquid for 2 weeks! I have lost as of this morning 1.5stone on that pre op diet in 3 weeks though so wow!!!'

Well done to you. That's brilliant. What a great diet. At Portsmouth they insist on the milk diet, but never mind. If you got to, you got to!!!!! We don't have any choice do we? If we did, I think I would have your diet, rather than mine.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
