kae21879 got a reaction from brandnew in June surgery dates
One more day. Tummy grumbling but I can make it another day. Tomorrow is the big day. Can't wait to weigh in at work so I feel better about not cheating this weekend.

The other thing to remind yourself is that staying on the pre-op diet and following it strictly will make your surgery and recovery better. It's helping 'shrink' your liver which helps the surgeon have better access to your stomach;) YOU CAN DO IT! Mind over matter! I can say this because I haven't done mine yet-Ha! I believe you can do it! It's only 2 weeks of the 52 in the year! Remind me of these things when I am on my pre-op

I did it yesterday! I feel great, yesterday no pain at all, today just a little sore at the spot they pulled the stomach out. Tolerating liquids...so far so good. A lot easier than I anticipated. Yay me!

Just had my pre op with my surgeon. Usual questions and instructions.
I did ask him about the pre op diet and he said the ONLY purpose is to shrink the liver. He said "big boys" and some ladies get really fatty livers and it makes the surgery more difficult. He said the diet can shrink the liver up to 50-75%.
He said he didn't expect me (I am lower bmi) to have that problem, so that's good.
He also advised that I continue all meds after surgery (high bp, thyroid, asthma) just one at a time...no gulping!
I also got my surgery time for the 25th...7:30 am! I will be his first case, so am happy about that.
I start pre op diet tomorrow and have PAT next Monday. It's all happening very quickly now!
Good luck to folks for this week!!!
