Oh my gosh 1 week away from my new birthday! I can't wait to start this new adventure. I'm excited and a lil nervous. I took this weekend to really tell myself I was not gonna see food in the same way. I haven't been able to eat as usual. I think maybe in a sub conscious way, I am preparing myself mentally for this. I hope so. My husband is so excited fro me as well. So that is such a comfort. I am lucky that the majority of people in my life are a positive light for me. I hope this week flies by for me.

I'm sure it will go fast, just keep busy!!! Are you on a Pre op diet?

It's awesome that you have support from your husband, my boyfriend was so nervous for me. But he is happy with how I am going now (had surgery yesterday) and he has been supportive all along.

Good luck!

I'm feeling ok, lots of pain yesterday but I have a button that releases pain killers into my IV which really helps. I woke up about every hour last night which was horrible and have been awake since 4am now.

I am feeling better but if I forget to keep pressing the button the pain comes back pretty bad.

I had to do 3 weeks of a Pre op diet to shrink my liver. It was pretty hard and I cheated a couple of times so your lucky you only have to do 2 days haha. Starting early might be a good idea though, it reduces the risk of anything happening in surgery

You better hold them to that shopping spree hahaha

      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.
