My date is April 9th :-)

My surgery is scheduled for 4/24

Surgery Date Set April 30!!! Now im getting nervous.

My surgery is the 28th. I am just praying for the emotional roller coaster to not go too high or low. My husband is being so supportive so that really helps!

The end of day 9 on my liquid preop diet. Reality is setting in. Oh so nervous and wish these next few days would fly by. Worried I'm not losing enough, anxious about the procedure, looking forward to a new beginning. Sighs

You are doing fine. When is the last time you dieted and lost a pound a day

Hello my date is April 30.

Today's the day! In three hours I'll be at the hospital. My nerves have calmed and I'm ready for this new path in my life to begin.

I hope everything went well with your surgery....mine is in 12 hours now eeeeee I'm so anxious

Pre-op diet sucks. I feel like Shirley Temple in that scene in "The Little Princess" were the mean girl asks her if she is actually hungry and Shirley Temple yells "Yes! I am hungry. I'm so hungry I could eat you."

I do not feel that hungry all the time just off and on during the day. I have found that broth helps me feel full. Something about the warmth. I also tolerate the Protein powder in broth better than the sweet drinks.

Tomorrow will be one week since I started the pre-op diet. I am worried I am not doing well enough. I am logging the daily calories on myfitness pal and they run between 700 and 1000 a day. Depending on which Protein shakes I drink and what my one meal consists of.

I am supposed to have 2 protein shakes and a dinner consisting of 3oz of lean protein and 1 1/2 to 2 cups non-starchy veggies. No added fat or sugar. I can add extra Protein Drink if needed. They did not give me a calorie count to stay within but I am still scared that somehow I am over the line. I cheated this morning and had half an ounce of beef tenderloin and 1 grilled shrimp when I made my husband his lunch. I feel so guilty and I am terrified my liver will be all fatty. So far that is my only cheat but I still feel guilty.

I felt the same way but at least your "cheat" was all protein. You didn't do so bad. I cheated with rotisserie chicken from food Lion. I was told everything looked good. I wasn't lucid enough to remember asking about the liver specifically. You're gonna do great.

On my way to the hospital ???????????????????? can't wait to begin this new life .. I wish all my April sleevers good luck and to heal fast

Thanks ladies!!! I will keep everyone posted once I am awake

I'm about to head to the hospital in about on hour.. I was a bundle of nerves yesterday, but I'm calm today. I am a little apprehensive if my liver is small enough, that they will send me home because I didn't do my pre-op diet well enough...

I'm gonna shake those negative thoughts out oft head!! I'll keep you all posted.
