Really rough day today! Feeling really down and alone!

cheese82 Sorry you feel that way. In the begining I felt the same way. I have very supportive people surrounding me. But, I just could not put to words all the emotions I felt. Somehow those feelings passed. Eventually I have been able to verbalize my feelings. Honestly, it helped to read some post on this web site. It helped to know that many on here share those same issues. I realized I am not alone.

Let me know if you need support. God knows I will need it with that two week pre op diet!

I haven't got any info on the pre op diet.. When do they tell you about that?

My diet is given to me June 11th the day I meet with the anesthesiologist and the PA and dietician where they go over everything. Did they not set u up for your pre op appts?

My surgery was 6 months ago. Any questions I can help you with ai will do my best. With my insurance I had to do 3 months of classes. It was during those classes we got our pre-op diet and our post op diet. I remember them talking about how little we would eat after surgery and I thought they were nuts lol! Guess what they were right hahahahaha.

The pre op diet Basically, it was a 1200 calories diet ( which you can get online for free). One month from the surgery we went to 2 protien shakes a day and a small meal a day with 2 Snacks ( about 1200 calories a day). Basically they wanted us to get used to drinking the shakes. And also to lose a little weight before surgery to shrink the liver. It makes the surgery more smooth.

Hope this info helps!

All I know is I'm scheduled June 3 for scope, then 4,5,6 for classes, then the 17th is surgery

You will probably get your diet at one of those classes. That's two more weeks for you!
