I have mine on the 27th also. I go for my pre op testing in the morning. That's when I talk to the dietician and probally start the liquid diet before surgery! I'm scared also...only because I don't know what I'm really in for as far as pain goes

I know I don't really know what to expect either but so ready for this!!!

My doctor requires liquid diet for 2 weeks!!! :(

I started it last Thursday....I am wanting something to eat so bad though!!

The liquid part is whats going to be hard for me too!

I am on day 9 of my liquid diet and have lost

17 lbs!!!! I am so excited!!!!

My surgery is on the 29th and I am on day 4 of my liquid diet. It really has not been too bad so far. Definitely not hungry since the protein shakes do seem to keep me satisfied.

Hi gang. Im on the 27th. Day 10 of pre-op and its fine. Im just happy on the knowledge Im doing exactly what Im supposed to do: 70g protein, 900 calories, no caffeine, no ibuprofen, tylenol, aspirin, etc.

I have to be completely honest, I cheated :( and I hope it doesn't affect me tomorrow.

How did you cheat and how long ago was it?

I just didn't stick with it completely. I would do the diet but end up having one meal. Today I was shaking I was so hungry ;( we will see tomorrow what the doctor says.

Well if it makes you feel any better... My doctor had me on 3 shakes a day and 1 meal a day. I think it is only a doctor preference. The diets are for their benefit to shrink your liver. I think you will be fine!! Just breathe, try and get some sleep. Because tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life :)

Good Luck
