Forget using prayers to god, not everyone believes! What you should be praying for is that you have a surgeon who's good and knows what he's doing, as well as an excellent group of nurses and support staff that will actually take care of you in hospital.

Amen, Lisa!

My Lord and savior Jesus Christ is who I will continue to pray to for everyone's surgery to go well, for everyone to have peace and comfort, and ultimately for healing. If you don't believe, feel free to think of it as positive vibes.

Glad to hear, Jess. I am glad I made it to my surgery date (tmrw) without illness. Many at my employment were really getting sick before my last day, which was Friday. Hopefully my recovery will be as healthy! Best wishes!

For those doing a liquid diet... Is it so you loose weight before surgery? I've been loosing my 10% (12lbs left) but haven't been told of this liquid diet. A lot of people do a liquid diet. Just wondering if its for Weightloss to shrink liver or to clean ur body out???

Good luck to everyone this week!!

Mine is liquid Protein Drinks for two weeks before surgery. The doctor says it's both to shrink the liver and to clean out the colon. If you don't do the died, he requires a bowel prep--I'd rather drink liquids for two weeks than have that!

Good luck to everyone this week. We have one week to go. I know being the spouse is not the same as the patient but I really am the only support team my husband has and this is slot of responsibility for one person to have so I will be looking to y'all. I hope you don't get tired of me. We just moved to hot springs, ar and I have no one here to help or even to talk to.

We are here for you, reach out whenever you want or need too. Wishing you a great week, and that surgery is uneventful. Hugs to you both

      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.
