Hi betty.....I started my liver shrinking diet today. I just hope I can get thru it. I only get to eat broth, protein shakes, yogurt, hard boiled eggs sugar free jello and popsicles. Bunches of water too. Today has been a struggle.

Can s fiber supplement be used during the pre-op diet??

May 2

Nice to meet you Mike. I figure if I can get thru the diet the surgery will be a breeze lol!! I start my diet Friday at work out won't be hard but when I'm home I will have more time on my hands. Guess I will have to get a Bobbie!

I have three days till i start my liquid diet, I'm getting a little nervous!

Thanks for the pep talk. I love your picture's! !!! I have found this site so helpful!!

Hi, my surgery is May 2 and I start my liver shrinking diet April 18th. I'm looking for a mentor or buddy. I figured I'd stay now before I encounter any trouble and I need some that had gone thru what I am getting ready to go through! !

You have a great support system. My family and co-workers are very supportive Im nervous that i'm going to have a hard time on the diet though. However, I found this site to be very helpful and supportive!

I start my liver shrinking diet April 18th. I am counting down the days till I start! I think I talked to one of my coworkers went to doing the diet with me, which excites me! It will be a great support to have her doing the diet with me! I have 21 days till I get banded, I was trying to find out the cost of my surgery and got two different answers, very frustrating!

So how is everyone preparing for their surgery? I'm seeing a therapist and she is a great help. I have also found this website which has been a great help!!

I love your post and it will be some of my inspiration. Everything wrote is at what stage I'm at, the beginning !

I guess I'm fortunate that my pre-op diet is only for 2 weeks! My birthday is the 13th and we are having Easter dinner I week early so I can eat!! I have a counter on my phone that gives me the exact days i have left till I start my diet and have my surgery! !

Keep us updated. I can't wait to start my diet! I'm

That's a good suggestion, I might start my protein shakes! !

My diet consist of broth, protein shakes, hard boiled eggs, light yogurt, sugar free jello, any sugar free drinks. I start April 18th

I thought about starting early but my birthday is 4. Days before I start my liquid diet! We are also having Easter dinner a week early so i can eat

]I'm being banded May 5th. Tequila counts as a clear liquid right? Kidding Lol we wish!#

2 weeks, I get to eat hard boiled eggs, protein shakes and broth

I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck with your insurance issue! It will come together for you!I'

I don t have to drink only clear liquids, I however thought that until I got the diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be!

My therapist does a positive thoughts daily and a weekly visit!! I am discovering a lot of things about myself. I dont really have a lot of medical issues but I'm 5'4 and weigh 407#'s. The most ever weighed! !I want to be around to watch my grandchildren grow up.

You will meet some great and supportive people here! I'm sure you will do great!! I'm excited and a little nervous but I think that is normal! My surgery is May 2 and I start my pre-op diet April 18th! !

It took me a lot of soul searching to come to the decision to get banded. I am in therapy and she is helping me mentally prepare for the surgery. I'm so happy that I found bariatricpal. I love the advice that everyone offers and how supportive everyone is! I know I have a long journey ahead of me but I'm excited to get started and with the friends I make here I am sure to succeed
