How are you feeling? I met my surgeon today and put me on a one week liquid diet before surgery. Did you have to do that ? Any suggestions? Congratulating and keep in touch!

I had to do 2 weeks liquid diet! You'll breeze through the week. It really makes a difference in the size of your liver which makes the surgery easier and safer.

I am feeling great, thanks for asking. I am 2 weeks post-op and next week I get my first fill. I am already loosing weight. I look forward to next week when I can start soft but "normal" food! No more blenderizing!

Only a few more weeks for you! I hope they fly by. I think you will be so glad you made this decision.

Keep in touch.

I am so glad it is working out with you! I have started taking the Vitamins and ew are they gross. Chewables! Blah. I need to buy a blender this week and start practicing my blending skills.

Do you feel sore at all?

I don't mind the Flintstones complete chewables, they are kind of tart which reminds me of a sweet-tart! I recommend that you not buy the cheapest blender, I got one for about $39.00 and it's a little more powerful than the cheaper ones, really blended those shakes good. I always used ice in mine and this blender did a good job of chopping up the ice. I've been using my small food processor/chopper since being on the puréed food, it works better than the blender.

I am a tiny bit sore around my incision sites but nothing serious. I had a bit of an allergic reaction to the steri-strips but it's much better now.

I'm so excited for you! Only a few more weeks! You have a lot to look forward to. 2012 will be our best year yet.

Stay in touch.

Shopping for a blender this weekend! Thanks for the heads up! Hope your feeling great!

I had my post-op today. Had to do xrays and drink some white stuff that was disgusting!! Did anyone go through that yet? I also received my surgery time which I am happy to say is first thing in the morning! 3 weeks from today, here we go!

Hey guys, I am scheduled for surgery for July 20th. I am very excited. Not yet nervous, but I am sure I will be.

Hope all your procedures go well, and keep us updated.

Hi ,

I am scheduled for 22 July 2012. Very excited and nervous too. Can't wait to see myself on the other side.

My surgery date is July 24. I have mixed emotions excitement, anxious, scared, worry. But I am glad to be finally here. I cannot wait to get through the surgery so that I can start my new life. I was put on the Atkins diet for 1 week to help decrease my liver. I think that is why I am a little scared. I read where some were put on liquid diet. I am worried that I don’t shrink my liver enough. I am told the liquid diet will be post-op.
