Just had my pre op with my surgeon. Usual questions and instructions.

I did ask him about the pre op diet and he said the ONLY purpose is to shrink the liver. He said "big boys" and some ladies get really fatty livers and it makes the surgery more difficult. He said the diet can shrink the liver up to 50-75%.

He said he didn't expect me (I am lower bmi) to have that problem, so that's good.

He also advised that I continue all meds after surgery (high bp, thyroid, asthma) just one at a time...no gulping!

I also got my surgery time for the 25th...7:30 am! I will be his first case, so am happy about that.

I start pre op diet tomorrow and have PAT next Monday. It's all happening very quickly now!

Good luck to folks for this week!!!

Where have you found sugar free fudge sicles?? I have found 'no sugar added' but no sugar free... Would love some chocolate!!!

It is funny how every Dr has a different formula for success(LOL)-- mine is pretty rigid but I'm trying to follow it as best I can. So far just have some trouble getting all fluids in for day (min 60 oz).

I got my sugar free fudge sickles and pop sickles at Aldi's!!! Cheap and good!

      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.
