Hi peeps!

I got the call today to confirm my approval!

I am so excited!!!!

My surgeons office had everything set up anyways so it was great! I really love how they have treated me this whole process.

I am going in on Friday to sign the consents, get my pre and post op instructions and prescriptions and I start my 2 week Protein Shake diet on Monday.

I can't believe this is really happening and that it is so close!

Seems like I have dreamed about being the me I always wanted to be and now, knowing its about to happen....its amazing!

To hell with the people who say you shouldnt need surgery! I am a real person with real problems who is so grateful I am being blessed with the chance to change my life

Congrats! I an wrapping up Day 1 and it was rough to say the least. Did it get better for you after the first couple days?

[Mimi1980 27]

Congrats Kerri!

Hi everyone! January 8 for me. No pre-op diet... wonder why? Makes me a little nervous. Wishing everyone the greatest journey!

No pre op diet for me either. I was just told not to go crazy with the food cause if he gets in ther a liver is to big he will just close me up and send me home.

[lvaughn12 15]

At the hospital now, getting prepared for surgery!

I need some opinions. I love cuties clementines and I am on my pre-op diet that consists of; 2 Protein Shakes, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 3 cups raw vegtables, 1 can of progresso light Soup a day. My question is does anyone thing having a cutie or two a day will hurt? I am losing weight as instructed to shrink my liver and I am sticking to the rest of the diet just fine, I just like to eat the cuties and they are helping with the Protein overload and the blockage problem that causes, if you know what I mean.

Any oppinions would be nice thanks

Idk why cuties would be an issue. They're about 60-80 calories. My nutritionist just said after surgery the fibrous membranes would be hard on my stomach.

I have been reading that on some other posts and I love cuties, I will miss them

I didn't know if anyone know of a reason why I couldn't have one or two a day before surgery, if it would affect the size of my liver?
