Had to push surgery back a few days due to scheduling conflict. It's Oct 9,2012 now. So that makes 40 days also. Nervous, praying for a successful surgery, and ready to get it done.

Ok, I wrote a long drawn out reply to chad2rad, but the site got squirly on me so I'll paraphrase...on the main page, there's a ton of info re: pre-op plans and other great tips. Im doing an Atkins type plan. Low carb, below 20 grams net carbs. Its not easy: im missing sugar and starch, but its a great way to shrink that fatty liver! As far as preop liquids, every surgeon has different plan for that. Some want 2 weeks liquids, some only 1 week...mine wants a few days post up to be light and the day before, liquids only. Im going to start Protein Shakes about 1-2 weeks prior to surgery to shrink that liver even more, and get my stomach ready for the shock...btw, I love your handle, chad2rad...well played, sir! :-)

I know, I was afraid of that happening that's why I was so apprehensive about picking a date. I just knew it would potentially conflict. But at least u can still go in Oct. I was so frustrated I started to just wait til Nov like I originally planned, my hubby said what's a few days just go ahead and keep it in Oct. he says I'm obsessed and consumed with this surgery, lol!

I am trying to eat healthy foods, limiting alcohol and carbs.

Two weeks preop I have to stick to lowfat Protein meats, green veggies and Protein shakes only.

Then 24 hrs before surgery, liquids only.

My MD does not have a weight loss requirement preop.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
