I finished my pre op stuff today and called the surgeon's office to report in, and the gal asked if I wanted to schedule my pre op for her! I have to do a gallbladder ultrasound and an EKG and labs. She also gave me a tenitive surgery date of April 7!!

I was so excited at the beginning of this but now having a possible surgery date, I'm scared out of my mind! All the research and studying I've done has helped, but the "realness" has suddenly hit me. Anybody else go through this? Any words of encouragement besides to just chill and follow the plan?

Thanks in advance!

April 7th is my birthday, it's going to be a great day for everyone, including you and your surgery! LOL

I don't have a date yet, but I'm really trying to wait patiently! ha!

Congratulations! The nerves are normal I think.. hang in there!

Congrats! I'm feeling the exact same way. The feeling of just wanting to get it over with nerves.

April 7 will be here before you know it.

Congrats! I also have my surgery date for April 7th. Have you began your pre-op diet yet? Or was that not required of you?

@Jade-no preop diet yet. I have to see the surgeon on Monday so that may change.

@dadsrebel-I'm more than ready! Good luck!

It's set for April 7, I'm just unsure if he will make me do a liquid diet pre op. That's what i get to find out Monday. I seriously can't wait though.

I feel the same way. Started my liquid diet on the 23rd for my April 13 surgery date. Excited but also wondering what I've gotten myself in to!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
