One n half days till surgery and.. I failed :(



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone x

my surgery is on 1 n half days, and I fell off the wagon so many times on my pre op, mostly not badly thankfully but once was, I’m on my feet all day running around and feel so faint, I should of booked these days off of work (I’m leaving this work place soon after surgery thank goodness!). But anyway now I’m so scared my liver will be too big, I’m not eating anything else until surgery.. but gah I’m so scared and so mad! My dietician said she’s never heard of that happening but people online have.. idk if my liver is currently big or anything not had a test that shows.. just.. any advice? I feel so numb and lost and scared that it’ll be too big

5’5” 316lbs (was 326lb before started pre op x)

Good luck. From my understanding, if you're liver is too big when you get in there, they'll still do the surgery except it'll be an open surgery instead of laparoscopic. But maybe you didn't do as bad as you thought? Good luck!

I bet it's not as bad as you think. I had to do liquids, but only for like 2 days before the surgery, and before that, I just ate low carb for a couple of weeks, and my surgeon complimented me on how my liver shrunk. So, don't fret. I think you'll be okay.

      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.
