You got this! Mine was yesterday. Other then back pain I'm doing good. I am able to take in liquids and I'm walking around, barely any gas pain either!

My surgery was at 1:00 yesterday, it was a lot more pain than what I was expecting but we finally found a good meds mix to keep it under control. Was up walking this morning. Starting to feel better and have had 3 oz of water so far.

Glad to know everyone is doing good!! I pray I have a good mix of pain meds so I can have tolerable pain.

Surgery is sept 12th Anyone else? I've cheated on my liquid diet a few times so hoping everything still goes well.

I cheated and ate cheese.

Pre op appointment tomorrow! Nervous because I'm up four pounds since my last appointment six weeks ago. Hope he's not mad.

I was up 6 then lost 4. He said my liver was still too big. So from now till the 16th I'm on a liquid diet

I was postpone so much it ended up being 8 mo. I'm just now for sure having my surgery on the 5th.

I have my next pre op on the 13 th

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for Friday, September 6th. So nervous!

I was up 6 then lost 4. He said my liver was still too big. So from now till the 16th I'm on a liquid diet

I found out at pre op today that I am supposed to start my diet now. That means two protein shakes and one sensible meal like a frozen ww meal. He said I need to lose 3 to 4 lbs between now and the 16th. How are you doing on the liquid diet?

maybe it's just cause its the first day, but it really wasn't that bad. I had two shakes, some beef broth with dehydrated onions, and some no sugar added fruit bars. I need to find a way to make my shakes not have very many carbs though. skim milk has some crazy carbs and that is what I use to make mine.

I have been using the almond milk with 30 grams protein, but I'm not sure about the carb count. Might be worth checking.

I'm three days post op and get to go home this afternoon! The pain wasn't bad my only complaint was a constant headache that we really couldn't get under control.
