I'm set for November 2nd. I'm struggling to get my boost down. Have to drink 4 boxes a day, plus 64oz of Water. Anyone else on this pre surgery diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The liver is right in the way and can fracture (not my word, the Drs) easily. So the liquid diet before is so it shrinks and can easily be moved around. After surgery is to give the pouch and other area time to heal. Is what I was told. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh Annie! I feel for you but, maybe go for a walk while everyone eats then join them for fun around the table after it's been cleared? Can you have broth? Maybe a bowl of broth while they eat? My surgery is Nov 2nd and I'll still be on soft foods, not exactly the same thing but gotta look at big picture! Think of how good you will look and feel next Turkey day!! Woohoo! Hang in there, you can do this! Just another hiccup along the way Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I to am struggling to get the liquid down. I have to do boost for two weeks before surgery. My date is Nov 2nd. The boost is nasty, but I've found adding flavorings to it, plus adding more Water to water it down a bit makes it easier. 4 boxes of boost and 64 oz of water a day, so when you add water to boost, you're killing two birds so to speak. Good luck everyone as the liquid part sucks and post liquid for two weeks will suck but look at big picture! I'm not going to let liquid get to me!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh man, I'd do anything but the castor oil. I was told if my baby was ready to come into this world, to take a spoonful of castor oil. That would bring on labor. She was 3 weeks over due (1968,) they wouldn't think of letting you go that long now, so I tried it! Only thing it did was cleaned me out good, spent hours in bathroom with bucket in hand cause I had it from both ends! Sorry, maybe TMI, it never worked, so I would use the other stuff!!

I'm a newbie on here, and have my surgery scheduled for Nov 2nd. Yay but getting very nervous. Don't have much of a support system, hoping to find some on here!! Yay BariatricGurl4Life!! It won't be long. Do you have to do the boost two weeks before to shrink the liver? I'm struggling with that! Bleh!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Brian! Newbie here too. My surgery date is Nov 2nd. I found there are great support groups connected to the hospital where you're having the surgery done. I'm doing the boost for the two weeks before surgery. Sure struggling with that. What hospital are you having it done? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That sounds better than this 2week boost. That's what this is for also, to shrink the liver. What was your date? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
