Only 14 more lbs to go, then my doctor will place me on the transplant list. The weight I lose after that is a bonus, I never thought I would get to this point. The more I lose the better it will be for the surgery, I need to be as strong as I can. I feel so blessed, and scared and happy, and every other emotion. Thanks for reading this, good luck on your adventure....

What transplant do you need, if I may ask? (Please don't feel like you have to answer)

Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for sharing! I think that's one thing the band saved me from. I didn't even know such a thing exists! UNTIL...the doc tried to place my band and my liver was too thick. He said it wasn't diseased YET. So the band is giving us both health! :thumbup:

Good luck! :angry:

Thank-you, I didn't know about my fatty liver. The only reason I found out about the cirrhosis is because I also have kidney disease, had to have a CT scan and they found the lesions on my liver. I wish I found out sooner, I may have been able to prevent it. God works in mysterious ways, I am happy that it was found, now we can fix it.

      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.
