Well that’s why I’m asking my list was vague said as long as total fats and carbs were below 5 % it was ok to have however idk about Saturated fats, it’s a zero sugar Starbucks coffee creamer. Sorry about your liver, your dr operated even with it being enlarged?

Every doc is different I guess. I only had popsicles, broth, Jello , Powerade zero on the list. And yeah. Being obese usually means you have a fatty liver anyways. I'm guessing it was reduced enough. Pre op diet is usually only Clear Liquids. Coffee's supposed to be black...tea too. That's what I was given in the hospital.

That's weird they called me Thursday to tell me stuff that I needed to drink the night before and 3 hours before, but my surgery is at 9:00 a.m. every place is different I must say

Yes I need some rest. Where others are sleeping long hours, I’m not getting much sleep. I find it hard to sleep in my bed. I’ve been sleeping on my recliner.

Right! I’ve been drinking in the one ounce cups, logging my pain meds, breathing in the machine apparatus they give, walking around the house. Whew!! I’m tired, but so happy I’m in this process for my health.

Omggg the apparatus I totally forgot 😳 thanks for reminding me. And you're doing 😃 great.

Girrrrrrl. I feel so much better on day 4. On day one I was just over everything. It's worth it though. It's not only a learning process it shows you just how strong you are.

Yeah the whole bed thing is .....it's something. I sleep longways like a dead fish.

I’m glad your feeling good today and I hope every day becomes better and better for you! Have you been needing the meds?

Heck no, getting out of bed is a tragic situation 😭.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

Oh yeah they are very thoughtful of my situation, and the Protein my people said I am only to have 60 grams of protein on this liquid diet, so I only drink 2 Protein Shakes and 22 ounces of the chicken broth and plenty Popsicles, Jello, pudding. That's my countdown to the sleeve

Thanks 🙏🏾. I have. However I had oral surgery right before my bypass so I have two bottles. 🫣😏. They kinda make me dizzy though so I try to grin and bear.
