so i m now in day two of liver shrinkage. I'm also wondering how much the rest of me will shrink too. I honestly thought i felt my soul tighten up a bit with the first sip of Protein shake.

So here i am anyway. i am on the west coast of Ireland and my surgery date while not necessarily September is on the 1st of October. 5 Days after my 33rd birthday.

I am excited right now as it is getting close to mid morning snack time and there is a nectarine on my desk that i'm shortly gonna eat like it's a gift from the fruit goddesses themselves suffice to say it won't be pretty.

In other exciting news i managed yesterday fairly easily and I've found that thinking about Protein shakes seriously reduces my hunger (go fig). I'm using Solgar "whey to Go" (i hate puns) is this the bariatric gold standard? The only advice i have is keep drinking that Water folks. Literally felt a headache rinse away earlier.

Anyway i'm rambling. Hope you've enjoyed my first post. I'd love to hear from anybody gearing up for surgery in this sort of time frame. I could def do with a buddy or two.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@@Desmond Longbottom I'm on day 4 of liver shrinkage and can totally relate. I'm allowed 1 shake & 2 clean meals a day. Next Monday, I start my 3 shakes a day & clear liquids. (Thats when the sh*t gets real) No solid food! I'm worried! Scheduled for 9/21

@@ANewMe9/21 Delighted to meet you. You are the first person i've interacted with pre op. Incidentally i've finished the nectarine.... It was awesome.

Day three of liver shrinking and can actually say I'm not really hungry. I could eat a lot right now but I think that's because I know I haven't eaten. I am now so dispondant about food.< /p>
