MeShellRene 3 Posted September 4, 2013 My surgery was at 1:00 yesterday, it was a lot more pain than what I was expecting but we finally found a good meds mix to keep it under control. Was up walking this morning. Starting to feel better and have had 3 oz of Water so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chellep 17 Posted September 6, 2013 I was up 6 then lost 4. He said my liver was still too big. So from now till the 16th I'm on a liquid diet I found out at pre op today that I am supposed to start my diet now. That means two Protein Shakes and one sensible meal like a frozen ww meal. He said I need to lose 3 to 4 lbs between now and the 16th. How are you doing on the liquid diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda R 56 Posted September 6, 2013 maybe it's just cause its the first day, but it really wasn't that bad. I had two shakes, some beef broth with dehydrated onions, and some no sugar added fruit bars. I need to find a way to make my shakes not have very many carbs though. skim milk has some crazy carbs and that is what I use to make mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth checking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
