Well this time tomorrow I will be leaving for the hospital! It's crazy that the day is finally here. Im Excited. I am still paranoid that something will happen to stop it but otherwise at this point I'm not super nervous or scared. I have my moments but I'm trying to keep myself so busy I don't have time to think. I've been reading on here and that has helped a lot.

I know the next bit of my life won't be easy but I think I can handle it. I wasn't required to do a preop diet except for being on a full liquid type diet today (at least it's not clear liquids). But I wanted to jumpstarty journey and already been working out and eating carefully. So I've lost 15 pounds and ready to get moving. I actually already met my first goal which was to get below 250- and that was amazing.

I never had a need to go cram in all those foods I won't be able to have for awhile- which shocked me.i am so focused on my future that the desire is just not there. I find myself looking at all I can eat instead of what u can't eat - so unlike me I can't explain it. This is just been an awesome experience sp far. BUT I'm not looking forward to today and a liquid diet (but only one day) or the gas pains or all the other trials associated with the surgery but I'm up to the challenge and I can say that with complete honesty!

Bring it on!! (hope I don't regret saying that ROFL)

      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.
