Hello July Sleevers,

I had my chest xray and upper GI done..... drinking barium is worth 62 calories... lol!

So you know, Drink lots of water after these tests are done. You will become constipated after having drunk only a few ounces of the barium fluid, It sits in your stomach all day and feels like a heavy rock. You do lose your appetite but it takes a few days to be "regular" again.

EKG and preop are next while I'm on the liquid diet. Now this part really scares me. I'm not pleasant to be around when I'm "HANGRY" (hungry and angry)

My family is being very supportive and I appreciate that. I only hope I can keep my senses while I'm liquid dieting for 2 weeks.

P.S. I lost my surgery folder when I hid it from Mom, and I need to get a new one for all my surgery preop and postop information. *SIGH*

Hang tight. My husband tells me i need to go take a nap when i get that way.

July 29th is my day! Process has been smooth sailing so far but a bit long because I had to do six months of a diet. Start my liver reduction diet Friday! Excited for everything to get here.

My surgery is scheduled for 2 days time (16th July here in Australia). Been on the pre-op diet for 4 weeks now and totally fed up with it but I have lost 5 kg which I am delighted with.

So just 2 more days to get through and I am there - a bit nervous now - not so much for the surgery itself but I always get terrible nausea and vomiting after an anaesthetic which I am not looking forward to. I am also terribly worried that I will go through it all and not lose any weight. I know that is not realistic if I stick to what the dietitian tells me. I guess I ahve failed somany times before it is hard to imagine that this time it might actually work.

Insurance finally approved me and I am scheduled for a band to bypass next Wednesday, July 20th! I am so glad to be a part of this July group!

I kind of didn't follow the 2 week diet but still been drinking my protein and they say my B lvl for liver is high will it still be possible to get surgery or no?

My surgeon isn't requiring me to do a pre-op diet either. I thought it was kind of weird since everyone i see has to do one.... the anxiety and nervousness is killing me though. July 28th can't come soon enough!

I'm going through a barix clinic and they are not requiring me to do any preop diet, other than the day before so my stomach is empty, not sure why that is. But I'm so anxious to get started!

Btw, my name is Brenda and I live in MI. We have the same big day awaiting us

So does the diet matter or no?

The pre op diet is to reduce the size of your liver. This is so surgery is easier for the surgeon and yourself. Your liver lies on top of your stomach dome peoples more then others. Surgeon is able it access the stomach easier if liver is reduced.

Good luck :-)
