cheese82 Sorry you feel that way. In the begining I felt the same way. I have very supportive people surrounding me. But, I just could not put to words all the emotions I felt. Somehow those feelings passed. Eventually I have been able to verbalize my feelings. Honestly, it helped to read some post on this web site. It helped to know that many on here share those same issues. I realized I am not alone.

Mine is June 25th and I had a really rough day yesterday so I understand. I think we will go in waves like this over the next few weeks. But we can do this! So many have done it before us and we will be just as successful!! I'm here to listen if you need an ear

Let me know if you need support. God knows I will need it with that two week pre op diet!

My diet is given to me June 11th the day I meet with the anesthesiologist and the PA and dietician where they go over everything. Did they not set u up for your pre op appts?

When did u have urs done? My surgery is June 16

My surgery was 6 months ago. Any questions I can help you with ai will do my best. With my insurance I had to do 3 months of classes. It was during those classes we got our pre-op diet and our post op diet. I remember them talking about how little we would eat after surgery and I thought they were nuts lol! Guess what they were right hahahahaha.

The pre op diet Basically, it was a 1200 calories diet ( which you can get online for free). One month from the surgery we went to 2 protien shakes a day and a small meal a day with 2 Snacks ( about 1200 calories a day). Basically they wanted us to get used to drinking the shakes. And also to lose a little weight before surgery to shrink the liver. It makes the surgery more smooth.

Hope this info helps!

You will probably get your diet at one of those classes. That's two more weeks for you!
