Well this coming week I have a date with the radiologist, long needle and my liver. I'm more freaked out with this than any other surgery or epidural I've ever had.

Why do you need a liver biopsy? I've had four...don't worry, it's not bad, just lie very still afterwards.

Levels have been high since 2011. They first thought just fatty liver, but they have increased after losing almost a hundred pounds. I'm hoping it's why I'm in a hot flash 24/7. I've been like this for over two years, and no it's not my hormones. My levels are fine. Plus with some other autoimmune crap going on. I'm so tired of being constantly hot and dripping with sweat all the dang time. Some thought it was from my weight, but that's not the case any more.

      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.
