My date is March 7th too! Such a mix of emotions right now-mostly excited to do it already! I have a 2-week pre-op diet of only liquids. I wish I could jump ahead to 2 weeks post-op. Not looking forward to the pain, anesthesia, recovery etc. After that I hope it will be just a new shiny path. Would love to keep in touch with all of you other March people. I look on these forums every day, and have so much appreciated all of the insight everyone has shared. Also, is there anyone in Spokane, WA having surgery in March? Would love to meet some face-to-face surgery buddies!

My date is March 26th. I am stocking up on my Orgain Protein Shakes, Premier Protein shakes, My Olly Vitamins, I am looking for a food processor and I am buying baby food glass jars for the puréed stage. I am not playing.

Anyone else think it's weird that some people have to do the 2 week fast and others don't? My surgeon requires nothing other than no eating or drinking past midnight the day before surgery. Obviously he wants me to start making changes now to help prepare me but I don't have to do any liquid diet or anything at all.

I think it depends on your BMI, Current weight and health status. I've heard that a high BMI will result in a two week liquid diet. I'm preparing myself for that.

It is based on the amount of fat around your liver mostly. If you have fatty liver disease, it can cause the liver to get in the way and prevent surgery. The goal is to make the liver smaller. This is mainly offered to persons whom carry fat in their midsection.

I have fatty liver disease so I will have a 2 week liquid diet. Some people have to do 3 weeks and others only need 1 week. It all depends on your body.

In addition, surgeons also can decide what is safe for the patients. A liquid diet may cause more damage than good.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
