I'm told I will likely only need to do a 24 hour pre-op diet. I guess I'll know for sure at the pre-op appt 8/4. Sounds like most of you have to do longer though. I wonder why that is?

My surgeon stated that it's to give the liver time to shrink, making it easier for them to manipulate laparoscopicly during the surgery.

I'm August 4th!

August the 10th is not getting here fast enough! I'm so hungry, my stomach has been growling all day!

Is anyone in Dallas, TX?

It is time for an update. Today is day 5/14 in the land of preop. The best thing I've done is conquer evening "hanger" (yup, this is the anger I feel over watching others eat when I cannot). Every grocery purchased was a part of a recipe someone else in the family can make. Sweet peace is in the house again!!!!! Pokemon GO has also helped with activities that distract from the daily ho-hum. Life is going well!! It is great seeing y'alls progress too. It is great having peeps to go through this journey with.

Hello ladies! I'd love surgery buddies! The big day is 8/8! My pre-op labs are 7/28. I started my Protein diet yesterday. It's not a liquid diet so I'm a little worried. Anyway, I'm excited!

@@Shrinkinqtpi Awesome!how's everything going for you so far? 14 days until the 10!I'm feeling a little week this morning and have a slight headache. The diet wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have drug reps bringing stuff every 5 min and all these meetings with catered food. I actually started yesterday and today is day 2!....

@@MrsMonroe you are a busy woman by profession. Being strong has to be tough with all of the temptations around. This is the 6th day and I'm having dreams of avocado blended into my Protein shake and spoonfuls of ricotta. Our count down will go fast. We just have to be strong.
