Surgery is June 2

[SCW2011 0]

I'm hoping for some advice... My surgery is scheduled for June 2. I started the liver shrink diet on 5/19 but did not follow it for 2 days. I feel so guilty and almost cancelled my surgery. I think most of all I am nervous about complications that could happen during surgery. Help!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but based on what others have said on here, I wouldn't worry too much about not following the diet for 2 days. If you are really concerned about it, contact your surgeon and see what he says about it. Keep in mind some doctors don't have their patients follow a special diet before the surgery.

Relax and think of the reasons why you made the decision to have this surgery. That will help calm you down I think.

Also keep in mind that the rate of complications from the surgery is really rather low - especially compared to some of the other types of weight loss surgeries, and definitely lower than something like an open heart surgery for example.

You will do fine with the surgery.

I agree with Nancy. Call and ask if you are worried but you will just fine. It's so hard bc it's such an emotional time! Hang in there you can do this!

I started my 2 week post op (liver shrink) diet on Thursday May 26 and it has been utter HELL. I will tell you ......... that the first 2 days were ridiculously hard, but if you stick too it, it will be much better. Today is my 3rd day and im not really even hungry. I drink lots of Water and have really really good low calorie/low fat/low sugar Protein shakes that literally taste like chocolate milk and a Cookies and cream shake lol

I think slipping up for 2 days isnt such a big deal... just hit it hard the rest of the way!!! You can do it!! Drink lots of Water, and eating cucumbers, and carrots are great fillers I've noticed

Good luck! Almost there!!!

Its a mix from GNC called Pro Performance AMP Amplified Weybolic Extreme 60. 1 servicing is 3 scoops, and equal to 60grams of Protein. Of course you cant digest 60 grams in one sitting, so i split it --- twice a day 1.5 scoops each

It is SO GOOD. I have the chocolate and the Cookies and Cream.. they also have strawberry, and vanilla.. and I think coffee flavored too.

Best part ........ each of my servings (half of what the back of the bag states since im splitting their serving in 2) is 140 calories and of that, only 5 calories and .5 grams of fat. and 1 gram of sugar.

I LOVE IT... i really encourage everyone to try it. Its the leanest and tastiest I have found yet.

i was told to do the pre diet for 5 days prior to surgery. i only did it for 2 days prior to surgery and had no problems. so no worries, you'll be fine. good luck
