I had day 1 of my preop diet today... went pretty well. It's interesting how everyone's surgeons have different preop diets. Mine is 3 Protein Shakes a day and a small meal, like a Lean Cuisine.

I have one more Protein Shake left that I'll have for a snack after I put my son to bed.

Abby good luck tomorrow!

Go Dec 2013!!

Hi everybody,

I saw my surgeon for my final pre-op visit today. Surgery set for 17th . I have been on the pre-op diet for a week and I have lost 9 pounds. My BMI was right at 41% before and I weighed in right below 40%. The girl in the office looked concerned and told me that I had to weigh in at 40% otherwise the insurance would not cover. What! No one told me this before , I had already gotten approved with my insurance! So she made me drink Water until I weighed in a few pounds more. So now I'm off the pre-op diet except for the couple of days before surgery. Office states I must still weigh in right at 40% or more on the day of surgery!

I don't think anyone has EVER told me I didn't weigh enough!! That rule sounds a bit silly since you started at 41, but I think as long as you keep carbs to a minimum your liver should still be shrinking, even if you aren't.

:-)

I'm going to try! Thanks

Hello all. I had surgery on 12/12/13. I was very scared and in pain. I think it had more to do with the being put under part. Still have pain. Glad I did it. Just wondering when the pain subsides I'm trying to not take the pain meds. I came home yesterday.

Hello,

My sugary is tomorrow, 12/16. I'm doing my clear liquid diet today. So far, it's OK, but I'm only on my second cup of liquids. I'm nervous and a little scared, but I'm a nurse so I know what to expect. I guess I just have a better understanding of what patients who are going to have surgery are going through. Today I will just reflect and pray as I know my life will change drastically tomorrow. Thank you all for the interesting blogs…..it helps to read other's stories to know one is not alone!
