Mine doesnt for anyone...the whole staff of drs at this hospital doesnt...he actually told me a good dr can get around any size liver and at first I thought he was full of himself but eventually I read up on it and many other Drs feel this way. ..and I had a food funeral up until the day before surgery and mine went off without a hitch. Obviously follow your drs orders but not everyone has the same experiences.

Janice, you were so lucky! My preop was 12 days! liquids only! SO hard!

Yep yeah uh ha... So three scenarios here...

1. go and follow religiously your pre op diet

( the hardest choice)

2. Stay home and prepare for surgery.

3. Go and try not to cheat... But you might slip up because you are out having fun. And most likely will relax the normal rules in life.

Me??? I'd chose # 2

Because I know if I went even with the best intentions (#1) I'd end up being #3....

True! Plan scratched!! Nothing is worth not getting my sleeve!! **** just got real! Thanks Laura :D

Hehehe... I think you will be good at home because on my pre op I went from telling my husband "wake me when it done" to wanting to kill someone to freaking out about the actual surgery :P

They called to schedule my surgery during Spring Break. They offered me the following Friday which meant that I would have to immediately start Protein shakes. I took a date two months out so I could enjoy my vacation and all of the kids end of school banquets/field trips were over. The timing was better all the way around.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
