Hi all, this has been a long journey and I've read so many posts through out it, now, i am a little over 2 weeks from my surgery, feeling apprehensive.i am starting my pre op liquid diet on Monday, just looking for tips and strategies to get through it. I will be successful, I am strong.

I thought the first two days were tough, but after that, I found it to be ok. I was tempted to cheat, and one night I had a steak, but I was allowed lean meat, just not as much as I ate. Other than that night, I behaved super solid. Any time I got the urge to cheat, I just thought about my liver not being small enough to do the surgery and having it cancelled after they looked inside me. That terrified me!

My Dr told me to think of the preop diet as a prescription ant not a diet. Sounds corny,but it helped me take it seriously. Also- remember it is only temporary! And it is so worth it!

The best wishes to you for a smooth surgery and recovery!

You've got this!

Thank you!
