I was originally scheduled for December 8th and got a call yesterday that my surgeon had an opening on November 10th, so I jumped on it. Granted, it meant I had to start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet yesterday (one day short of 2 weeks), but that was okay since I drink my Breakfast and lunch anyway during the week. I didn't start feeling anxious, nervous, excited, etc. until yesterday. We were able to get all my pre-op appts. scheduled for this week and next, except for the mental preparedness class which I'll do after surgery. My psych eval. was done in July and was my last hoop to jump through prior to insurance approval. Now all I can think about is everything I need to get accomplished at work and home prior to surgery. Trying hard to keep any anxiety at bay.

If you want an earlier date, check in with your surgeon's nurse/scheduler periodically and ask about any cancellations. My surgeon only does surgeries on Mondays, and then only 3 each Monday, so options were limited. I just happened to check in with his nurse yesterday via email about any cancellations and it wasn't 5 mins. later I got her phone call. Hang in there!!! Your surgery will be here before you know it! :)

      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.

      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.
