Liquid Diet

[Shellyp 1]

I'm on my 3rd day of liquid diet of 7 days. Needing some motivation? How did everyone get through it? Thanks!!

If your liver doesn't shrink because you didn't follow their pre-op diet they won't do the surgery.

Is that motivation?

I used my fear of complications as motivation. Like, big fat liver could get injured during surgery Since I'm a huge baby it worked well!

I've been on it for 4 weeks! Surgery the 30th two weeks with one meal two weeks with none I haven't cheated once. Why would you want to risk having to do this over again?

Yikes! What did they say to do?

[debbielane47 2]

Setting up heart cath to see how many stents then wait at least a yr for surgery. But I'm going to modify the pre op diet to see how much weight I can lose in the next 12 months.

Blessing in disguise. This surgery saved your life most likely (even though you didn't have it). Sorry though, you must be terribly disappointed. Get better and it's a great idea to do all you can to get yourself healthy. Maybe you won't even need this surgery. Take care.

I'm on day 4 of 7 pre op liquid diet today. I'm just trudging along. This isn't the worst, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. [emoji23]
Scale shows -5 pounds today.
