I'm scheduled for July 16th. I was given a list of pre-op tests to have done. My PCP is concerned about my heart and now wants to consult with my cardiologist. That wasn't worrisome enough. One of the blood tests came back showing my liver enzymes are high. Now I am asked to have an ultrasound to look closer at the liver. I asked the Dr if we shouldn't just assume that I have a fatty liver because I am fat but he said no. We need to check for a mass. I am crossing fingers and toes that this all works out and things go on as scheduled. I started my pre-op diet a week in advance to try to shrink my liver, we'll see. Sheesh, it's always something!

Liver enzymes are mental -- they go all over the place for no apparent reason. I am hoping things will be fine!!

I've heard that gallstones can cause the liver enzymes to be high. I don't have a gallbladder or appendix. .

      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.
