I was sleeved yesterday morning at 7:30am. I was in my room by 10:45. I slept off and on most if the day but that evening I got up and sat in the recliner. Today the pain wasn't as bad. I got up 5 times and walked. This morning I had my swallow test which is super duper nasty. Also had an ultrasound on both legs to check for clots. I didn't get much down today. I had a sugar free Popsicle, some crystal light lemonade, I ordered broth but never sipped that. The gas pain is no fun.

I go home tomorrow. Looking forward to being in my own bed. :-). Just glad it's over.... Time for my new chapter to begin!

I'm having mine on August 15th. I'm not required to do a pre op but I feel I need to. Will you help me get ready for surgery? I will follow a liquid diet for 7 days with you

My Dr. has me on three Protein Shakes per day, plus Clear Liquids in between shake meals. I'm using Premier Protein ready made shakes right now, but I've got an order on it's way from Unjury for their starter pack. I want to try out their different products so I have some variety. I'm using sugar-free Jello, sugar-free pop cicles, Water, and tea for my clear liquids. I'm going to make a batch of Bone Broth this weekend so I have something hot to "eat" on this liquid diet. I never was hungry on day 1, the only thing was that everything was cold. I need some hot, so I'll explore broths over the next couple of days.

I love my broths too...I've been jazzing them up with squeezes of lemon and hot sauce.

Question for those on preop diet. If you're allowed to have half a cup of vegetables at dinner, lettuce included then what kind if dressing would be best, assuming you can use one. I forgot to ask my nut about this.

My dietitian says to use Walden farm dressing. It has no calories. Been on pre-op diet for a month and that was what I used for my salads at dinner. I had to have 4 Protein Shakes and 1 Protein Bar a day. Than I got to eat 4 oz of Protein, 1-2 cups vegetables and 1 cup fruit. Surgery is Tuesday. I am getting so excited

it's good u r doing well. Today is my first day of my pre op diet and already I am missing having my regular Breakfast. But I am reminding myself this is for a better and healthier me. I really need some encouragement right about now. Feeling alittle blue this morning. The only things I can have is 3 shakes per day and 100 calorie yogurt and Water or crystal light. Really? Some people get to eat... But I know u guys will encourage me. Thanks for all the support and thumbs up to all is having surgery today. :-)

Had my surgery on Tuesday--got home yesterday. It is good to be home. Doc said the surgery was "textbook". Recovery went pretty well. Spiked a fever the first night but it turned out to be nothing to worry about. I would say the three worse things so far have been--1. Gas pains (walking, walking, walking is the cure), 2. the barium prior to the leak test (it went fine for the test but afterwards was awful for about 30 minutes), 3. the diarrhea from the barium (was up much of the second night after surgery). Have needed no pain medication since getting home, not having a problem getting my Water in, a little slower on the Protein. Started my Vitamins etc this morning. No issue walking the dog. Slept very well last night. Have been awake for about 3 hours, think it might be time for a nap.

You can do it the first two day are hard but once you pass the day each other day will be fine.

I just got a call from my surgeon office they change the time of my surgery from 10:15 am down to 6:30 am I am glad of the change that it will be early so I will get to go home, sooner wish everyone the, best

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
