3 more sleeps until surgery and nervous!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys... new here!! 34 year old mother and wife from the UK! 3 more sleeps until surgery and I am getting very nervous!!! Have found the pre op diet a tough one - never realised how much of a true issue I had with food! Have stuck at it however as terrified of my liver not being suitable for surgery!! I have two young children - age 2 and 6 - it will be my first night away from them so I hope they'll be ok! Just got to keep remembering I am doing this for us all, for a better life for us all!

I guess I just wondered if anyone has any tips for before / after surgery! Eeeek!

Much love x

I'm down to 2, though I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm in clean and prep mode so I'm not really given my myself time to be nervous.

I've read everything and prepared everything as much as I can. I'm so ready to take the next step that I'm looking forward to it more than anything.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to get truly anxious Sunday night and Monday morning.

I'm doing ok on the pre-op diet. It kind of feels like I've always eaten this way at this point, though pictures of food still jolt me into really wanting something delicious and sugar free Jello isn't it. Lol.

Today I am three sleeps out, too. Nervous too and getting ready to fly to surgery city tomorrow early. I have a 5 year old and she will be with me and my adult son on the surgery trip.

tonight I finally did my "before" photos and measurements. Sobering. But hey, it will be amazing in a few months to have them.

Good luck to all my fellow sleevers this week.

      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.
