According to my doctor it is to get your intestines as clean as possible and to prepare you for the liquid diet after the surgery..

My dr has me doing it because it helps to shrink your organs especially your liver it helps to see better laparoscopic

My pre op 7 shakes per day. The pre op liquid diet is to help shrink the liver to get it out of the way so it's safer for laparoscopic surgery.

Yap that as well.

well i guess when i go for my final everything with my doc...he might tell me the same thing. Heck, I'm trying to plan out what my last meal will be....gonna be something good. Even though I'm still about 3 weeks away, I'm so freaking nervous and it's all i want to talk about. My girlfriend is very supportive and her biggest thing is my health......I'm past the health part....no I want to talk about the cute clothes, HA

My liquid diet is two weeks and its 5 shakes a day by bariatric advantage. I have 4 cheat days were I can eat solid food with 4 shakes a day.

So I start my 2 weeks liquid pre-op diet tomorrow but have already been on my pre-op diet for 4 weeks. I am so frustrated because I lost some and then gained it all back. I think my nut is not going to be happy tomorrow when I see her. I know that I will lose a bunch during the next 2 weeks but really hate that I wasn't able to keep up with it over the last 4 weeks. I am actually glad I'm not eating any more food....might help with the mental part.

2 weeks and I am so freaking out. I'm nervous, anxious, and really scared. Not about after the surgery but the surgery itself. At least those around me have been helping with positive comments. Going to try and keep myself busy for the next 2 weeks so I'm not thinking about it.

I know it was asked a while ago as to what I would like to do when I am thinner but I don't have just one so here are a few that I am looking forward to:

1. Being able to choose clothes that look good rather than clothes that fit.

2. Going to Disneyland with my nieces and enjoying the rides.

3. Going hiking and camping again. (Haven't been for the last 2 summers)

4. Wearing jeans without them hurting my waist and giving me sores. (Sorry for the bad mental image)

5. This might be the most important one....being healthy and enjoying life more.

Only 11 days left! Started my pre-op diet last Tuesday a few days early. My Dr.has me doing a low carb-no sugar diet. I have lost about 6 lbs so far. I have all my vitamins ready to go. I am still a little overwhelmed with the protein powders and food for right after.. I am also getting nervous about afterwards like, cleaning the house, laundry and missing work.. we have five kids and they have so much going on...I think it's just nerves but feeling pretty overwhelmed right now.

wooooooow dunwithfat, my hat is off to you....hell, i was tryng to figure out what i was going to do with 3 dogs.

Lol. How about three teenage boys, 19, 17 & 15, two dogs over a hundred pounds each and an 18 yr old cat. Oh, and a hubby! :-) I'm not complaining but its a lot of work being mom, wifey and caregiver. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. It will all work out. No worries, we will do it all. We can all do this!!

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

I have six kids 1,2,7,9,11,16. And a dog. They are a lot of work but I feel I need to do this for myself and to keep up with all of them. I can't wait.
