cool! Is it just me or does it seem like time has started to slow down? Maybe it's just me being anxious!

Oh no, it is standing still. I'm on my way to my Pre-Op appt now!!! At least that is getting me closer. I am having trouble concentrating at work. This is all I can think about!! Hope you are doing better than me!!

Hi everyone! My surgery is on Nov 6! Went for pre op on Tuesday and went well. Didn't think this day would ever get here. Ready to start day 3 of liquids. Getting a tiny bit easier????. I am from Kansas. Would love to keep in touch with as many of you as possible for support! I recently started some on line journaling which has been very therapeutic for me. Good luck all!!

Well, I have been trying to review, experiment on Meal Replacement flavors, and stock up on what I will need post-op. My post-op diet per my surgeon is to reduce the size of my liver. I guess that it what they are all supposed to do. It consists of liquid Protein Meal Replacements (5/day), low sodium broth (2/day), sugar free Jello (1/day) and lots of Water. I don't officially start it until the 9th, but I have been trying it on for size (toleration), started Mon. I discovered that it is more likely than not that if I get rid of any already cooked food, I will have no problems staying the course. Unfortunately, by 5pm, I remembered this is just an experiment and so I pulled out and microwaved leftovers that I had in the frig. I know that I could have done without the food, but it was there.

Just wondering does this sound anything like your experiences?
