I'm a few days away from having my surgery (8/6), I am overly excited however I am also very nervous. The process took about 2 months which was pretty quick. I don't have to do a liquid diet but I'm currently doing one anyways for the next few days. I have to admit I didn't do a full 2 weeks of the diet my surgeon provided and I'm a little concerned my liver hasn't shrunk enough. I've been drinking Protein Shakes 2 times a day and eating dinner. I have my hospital bags packed and ready to go but my nerves definitely have the best of me!

Hey guys, I'm feeling great! After I was feeling really well. Actually, the worst part is the gas pain but not as bad as I thought. Anesthesia had me for a minute, I'm feeling up and ready to start my new journey!

Hey I've been looking for a place to post this, I almost put it in the post surgery 💩forum but I am still before surgery and I want to kinda whine, I am on Day#10 of a whole month liver-shrink diet. I am having 💩problems to be honest. My Stoll doesn't like leaving me, Oh it isn't what I would call Constipation, I always heard that way hard textured and this isn't hard. I'm on 1000 calorie,100 gram Protein, 70 grams carb diet. Maybe it's that my colon muscles are 72 years old, maybe it isn't as firm as it once was and my muscles can't get a Firm hold, but it aches and I have sit there for not all spectacular results. The last few days I've resorted to Miralax, maybe a little help? My preconceived notion was I would have diarrhea , nope hasn't happened, am I worrying for nothing? I had more defecation fun when I was eating at will, but I do want and need this surgery. Is this common?

I myself haven't experienced this problem so I'm really not sure how to answer that but suppositories gave me some kind of outlet, not that bm I wanted but it helped. Maybe your primary can help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
