I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday! It seemed so far away when this process started and now it's just days away.

Who else is having surgery Monday? How are you feeling about it? What are your pre-op instructions? What have you stocked up on for when you get home?

I'm feeling more nervous as each day passes. I think I need to commiserate with others in my same shoes.

Mine is Monday too. I had a 2 week liquid diet pre-op. Clear fluids only on Sunday. So tomorrow is my last day of those nasty shakes. I am so busy looking forward to having a break from shakes that I am not nervous yet. I know I will be on Sunday night.

So I already have all my pre-op instructions but I was a little surprised I didn't get a reminder call from the surgeon's office. Did any of you get one?

Mine is 9:30 Monday morning! You're SO right, it felt so far away and yet here we are! Im super nervous and super excited. I think I'm the most concerned about coming out of anesthesia and the initial pain. I'm a huge baby, but this is so worth it. And from what i've heard, the pain is tolerable.

The only pre-op I have is clear Fluid the day before. So tomorrow is my last hurrah with solid food for a while! The hospital called yesterday to ask some questions and tell me where to go. Then my doctor called this morning and confirmed the time.

Good luck! We are going to kick butt!

Surgery at 7:30 Monday morning. How did that happen so soon? Nervous, excited, questioning my decision, fear, mourning, disappointment in myself (that it came to this), but mostly so looking forward to living a life that I want to live instead of what my body will allow. So many things on my mind-how in the world will I sleep this weekend? Good luck to all of us Monday, what an adventure we are starting!

I'm checking in at 9:30am, haven't been able to sleep other than cat napping for the past 2 days, it's probably anticipation. Yes it's already REAL

Hello Newmein2017,

I'm having surgery at 11AM tomorrow. I'm excited, just not sleeping much, spending a LOT of time sitting on the white throne. This clear liquid diet is awesome!!! I've already dropped 11 lbs. I started Thursday night. Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, gatoraide zero, and Water. AND nothing by mouth after midnight tonight.

I had to pick up my prescriptions before hand and other miscellaneous items to pack for my stay at the hospital. I also purchased everything I will need for my smoothies once I am cleared for that. I am lactose intolerant so I won't be able to do the whey Protein Isolate, I am doing Pea Protein & Hemp Protein Isolate powders. I bought a ton of the Lift Protein Water by Atkins & Isopure Protein Water been sipping on that these past couple of days. I have gas tabs that dissolve in mouth & gas strips. I have Calcium with Vitamin D, Biotin for my hair, Kosher herbal laxative, B12 dissolving tabs to put under my tongue for energy after surgery clearance. A new set of PJs and slippers for the hospital and a journal which my doctor & nutritionist suggested I use pre & post surgery. I think that is it.

Oh & SUGAR FREE JELLO!!! post-308387-14820671136908_thumb.jpg post-308387-148206729206_thumb.jpg

      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.
