I have no medical issues only thyroid. That's so weird that I need all these tests done. I wonder why?

I plan a procedure at True Results also. December 6. Think it will be good to do it before the end of the year. .

Officially start my preop diet today! Yay! No surgery date but my office said to start diet so I would be ready to go when insurance approved. I'm aiming for dec 2.

Wow! Can't believe they are starting the diet before a date. December 2 would be wonderful! I am penciled in for Dec 27th pending insurance approval. I hope to hear something this week. Is your diet all liquids or can you have some solid food as well?

How exciting! Do you have your insurance approval? I hope to get mine this week.

I do have my approval. Lucky for me, the whole process was really fast and easy. I will be on an all liquid diet starting a week before.

I believe my doctor does a two week liquid diet. That is actually the thing I am most nervous about. They said once they get the final approval from my insurance, I will have to come in for all my dietary instructions.

I'm to have 1-2 Protein Shakes a day and 1-2 lean meals a day. No fats. I can have green veggies and 1 cup of fruit. No carrots or bananas. I was shocked. I was expecting an all liquid diet. I got this!!

[MistyfortheMountain 119]

Wow! That's great! Sounds much easier than all liquid. My understanding is the liquid diet is to shrink fat around the liver. Strangely enough I was just diagnosed last week with a fatty liver, so I'm sure the 2 week liquid diet is in my future.
