I am actually getting really excited.
My surgery is on the 12th and I started the 10 day diet today.
It almost seems to me like I am eating so much on this diet. 3 shakes a day plus 1 Soup and 1 Protein bar then 1 lowfat dairy item... along with all the broth, sugar free Popsicles, and sugar free Jello I can handle.
I don't feel like I am on a diet other than not having to chew anything.
I am a bit concerned about my blood sugar levels though without anything carb-y throughout the day.
I will keep checking my sugar.

I am at the same point as you!
I started with the Protein shakes and stuff yesterday and so far I feel ok, a little weak but not too bad. The worst part for me is "Prime Time" on TV. I used to sit and snack and watch my favorite shows... now I need a new routine... I'm also a bit anxious/scared because I feel like I am losing a friend... I think I will try to have a fatty food funeral to get some closure. LOL

I am writing this post mainly because I think I will feel better if I write I am on day one of my pre op liquid diet. SO far so good!!!!! I can have Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles, unsweet tea/coffee, and lots of Water. I have been very, very, anxious about this and that is not normal for me. I would appreciate any support. I can handle being hungry, I just do not want to feel bad. Let's see how this afternoon and night go!!!!!!

Wow I am too scared to cheat.....
I worry that my doc will cancel if I do.
In two days on liquid diet I have lost 5 pounds so that alone has been a great motivator.
I guess it has to do with will power and Mind over Matter (food that is) I have tried to occupy myself with other things instead of food.... Cleaning the house, reading a book, but I was also told that I could have all the sugar free Popsicles that I want. That has been a huge help. I feel like I am snacking but it really has no caloric repercussions.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! It will fly by, I promise. Best of luck!

My date is November 9th, too, I was tentatively going to be in January, but my surgeon had a cancellation and I was given the option. I have a two week liquid diet also, it's actually not as horrible as I imagined!
Something clicked in my brain today, though, once I saw November it just got real!! I'm excited, too, but nervous.

Can't wait to meet you all!

I am very excited! My surgery was scheduled for October 19th.
The hospital where I am going to have my procedure done requires a 10 day liquid fast prior to surgery . This ensures that the liver will shrink and not obstruct the surgical tools.
I start the 10 day liquid fast using prescribed Opti-Fast drinks on October 9th.
I am a little bit nervous about everything.

Oct 14 for me. I started this journey in Dec 2014. Been a long time, but my final consult with the NUT is on 24 September, and pre op diet begins 29 September. Best wishes to all of you!

October 12!!!!! So excited

I got my date, this week. It is for mid Oct. I start the liquid diet in a little under 4 weeks

Nerve racking...not never racking, stupid auto correct. Lol

Congrats on receiving your surgery date. That's so exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. I had my last pre-op visit today and now I'm just waiting on the surgery scheduler in my doctors office to call me. She's already scheduling for October so I'm assuming my surgery will be sometime then.

I finally got my surgery date! it's such a bitter sweet time for me. I waited for so long for it and now it's on paper and very real. I'm very much so in nesting mode... shopping and prepping have become a huge deal to me and at the same time a bit overwhelming W so many choices to make (in reference to pre-op diet). I am very excited and I hope there will be others to share this journey with since my surgery is October 28th ???? I would luv a buddy to share and exchange information and suggestions with. My surgeon is Dr. Shirwinter from Memonides Hospital in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to the new journey!
