Roll your mouse/trackpad over the selection of text you want to quote.

It will "highlight" in light blue.

Seconds later, a black secondary "pop-up" will ask "Quote this?" ... so just click on the "Quote this?" or touch it and your quote pops into a box atop a new message!

Me too - October 4th in Tucson, AZ. DO you have to do a pre-op diet? Today is my first day of it.

Hi there I am starting my preop liquid diet today. My surgeon only required me to do it for a week. How has your preop diet been going? I can’t believe surgery is just a week away for us.

I started on 9/21 for 10/5 surgery. It's okay. I was put off by the fact it tastedtoo salty, because I live in a "salt free" cardiac world most of the time. I got used to it, and it's not so bad. I am doing the Optifast800 which is 3 shakes, 1 "soup" and a bar. So not lots of choices. I do add a bit of pepper to the Soup.

I had a mild headache the 2nd day, which went away. I've been drinking Crystal Light and Decaf Constant Comment Tea, and Water. By Day 3, I felt fairly good but was also just coming off surgery for kidney stones a few days before, so not sure if some of that wasn't the kidney stone recovery.

I think its very do able. I'm quite determined to have my liver as small as possible for surgery. I've also lost about 14 lbs.

I am sure you will do well. Great success to you on your decision!

So yesterday was bad. I cheated on the diet and had some Nachos and I feel horrible about it. It wasn't even worth it because they didn't even taste good. Today is a new day but I'm back on the diet and I think this slip up has only made me stronger.

      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.
