I am so excited for the big day!!! I still have lots of questions but I think that’s pretty common as the unknown can be scary. Just curious what should I expect the first week after surgery? And how long have people been off work for the surgery?

Congratulations, mines on the 27th too.

I had the bypass done, I don't know about many people but I was in so much pain I had to stay with my mom for two weeks and couldn't do anything for myself. However six weeks into it , I feel better then ever .

Congrats day before mine! ( hopefully)

I am also set for the 27th of November. I started my liver shrinking diet yesterday. I’m so excited.

Also the 27th, this liquid diet is giving me horrendous headaches, anyone else?

I’m just beginning this process but my friend had hers done 2 months ago. I visited her in the hospital. She did great- stayed home 2 weeks- no pain or sickness. Everyone is so different so it will be kinda a wait and see game to see how you feel. I wish you the best of luck!!

Yep, I've got headaches too. So far peppermint essential oil is keeping them under control. Hope they stop soon.

This diet has got me Hangry!! Almost done with day 3 getting excited nervous crabby hungry lol

Yes it bites

This clear liquid diet is NO JOKE... I have urges constantly to go buy a burger... Im fighting my urges but this is really a struggle for me... Anyone have an ideas on how to survive starvation lol, well all mental really but still !!!!!!

Well, day 9 of the pre op diet. For me, day 4 and 5 were the worst. Tired, weepy and generally sad. It's better now, but I'm tired of Boost. Just think, after 5 more days we are in! I'm down 13 lbs, so I'm glad my liver is shrinking. How are you all coping?
