Good morning everyone. I was wondering if anyone nerves started getting to them before surgery? The closer I get the more anxiety I'm having. My official date is August 11. Just about a month out.. I'm not having second thoughts just very very very nervous. Not sure why or what to do. Any advice???[emoji16] [emoji16]

I have my surgery on August 11th as well. Today I start the 2 week liver reduction diet. I'm nervous but so excited to begin the journey I've waited so long to start.

Good luck.

I'm Aug 11 and only have a 2 day clear liquid diet.

I'm freaking out because I'm eating more now, as if it's the last time. Why am I doing this? It's like I'm sabotaging myself before I even start!!

Hey.

Last night was my last supper. I had whatever I wanted. But now I have 2 weeks of only fat free / sugar free yogurt, sugar free jelly and Water.

What I would suggest is don't go overboard on 'eating everything you can't have post surgery'

Why do you only have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet before surgery? Don't you have to do a liver reduction diet?

Im in the UK but I've noticed a lot of members on here from the US. Where are you?

Every patient in the UK needs to do a 2 week lover reduction diet.

I don't know. I'm at a 39.5 BMI no co morbidity so I have no idea. I was mentally preparing for a two week liquid diet but the surgeon told me only 2 days clear liquid. I'm in the US in Miami. Going to get my act together starting today as if I had to do the liquid pre op diet so I don't get crazy headaches afterwards. I'm 39 and have a weight of 208 lbs and a goal 138.

Your liver reduction diet is based off of your BMI before hand, at least that is what my surgeon and my nut told me. For example, I have a really high BMI, and my surgeon wants me to have a 3 week liquid diet preop.

My surgeon told me he could do the surgery today without the liver reduction diet (BMI 53) that the mandate comes from the insurance companies. I can see from here that it helps us get our heads on straight for proper eating after surgery.
