Do they sedate you for the liver biopsy? If so' date=' it probably won't be so bad. I had to be awake while they put in a drain that required going through my liver. I didn't feel a thing, but the drain itself was painful for a few days.[/quote']

Ouch. They numb it. I just a wuss! Lol

My enzymes levels have been if the chart since the summer of 2011. With losing 85 pounds they are still really high. They wanted to do the biopsy before I had the RNY but I've put it off.

Do you use a lot if Tylenol? When my levels were wacky (and my dr was basically asking me if I was an alcoholic!) I think it was due to vicodin. Now that we can't take NSAIDS...I'm wondering if mine will be elevated again.

No Tylenol does nothing for me. I take narcs when I can't take my back or neck pain anymore. But my last draw they increased. Like I said I have other issues with other levels being high also.

Yea most people think you're alcoholic or a pill popper when the enzymes are high.

My oldest is having knee surgery Aug 7. So heading back home the first to see friends and take care of her for a few days after surgery then my mom will have to handle the rest unless I can convince her to come back here for a week. But that's unlikely since she hates this crazy oil boom town!

      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.
