Well I had my endoscopy this morning. Piece of cake. I've been on this pre op diet since June 28th. I saw my surgeon last tuesday and haven't dropped any weight really since. I don't get it. I'm following this diet outline they gave me. I only cheated once last friday. I walk daily. And the scale doesn't move. I'm scared that I will get all ready for the surgery on Thursday and the surgeon gets in there and says that my liver hasn't shrunk at all. I have one more day of Protein food packets then Wednesday is all Clear Liquids and a bottle of magnesium citrate (ugh). On another note, it's kind of irritating that they don't give you the time that you are suppose to be at the hospital til the day before. The hospital is an hour away so I'm trying to plan what to do with my son and my mom won't give me an answer if she is going to take me to the hospital or not because she doesn't know what time. It's just really frustrating. I pretty much just want to scream right now.

Danielle Beadle best of luck to you. I am sure everything will be fine and your surgery will go on as scheduled. Sometimes the liver shrinks without the weight loss. I have seen others mention this. I hope your surgery goes smoothly and your recovery is quick. Keep us updated. Stay positive.

I had a friend with the same situation as far as transportation - get an early morning window that your mom can take you, and be prepared to wait - or consider a taxi...if your insurance is covering it you may qualify for a shuttle service.

      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.
