Well it's finally here. My surgery is scheduled for 7/11. I'm excited and nervous about the surgery but to me the good out weighs the bad.

Hey there...I am scheduled for the day before you. I had my first panic attack of nerves this morning. Otherwise, I have just been anxious and excited. I am not nervous for what the surgery means or how my life will change...but just for the surgery itself...incisions, etc.

But we will be OK!!!

Thank you so much. It means alot. But I'm having problems with the liquid diet. This not eating is bad news for me. Wondering if I should take laxatives? Or is there anything to take to make the liver shrink

I don't think there is an easy way to do that. My surgeon has me on partial liquid....I know part of it is the liver issue but mainly I believe it is to develop good habits before surgery. I mean, after surgery I am on a 2 week liquid only...and we will need to be used to life without chewing for a while!
