So surgery is tomorrow .... nervous but just anxious to get it over with lol ... excited but nervous ..... been hard 6 months working lost about 45 lbs during the last 6 months ... and now this is just the beginning of this journey...well midway ... surgery 9am so I know it’s going to be hard getting a good sleep any suggestions to sleep calm like a baby lol ... I try not to think of it to much but it’s surgery and thats a main thing... I have heard of doctors stopping surgery due to fatty liver even if they did diet changes and lost weight .... also after surgery do you take your protein liquid that day hours after surgery or what happens after surgery do I bring my protein liquid drink with me ??? or once I go home is it then that i start my liquid drink once again ...??

I go on Monday so I certainly understand the nerves! Best of luck to you!!

also with my liver diet I only lost about 5 lbs is that okay ?? it was 2 shakes 1 meal & 2 snacks .. but didn’t lose as much

I'm on optifast I'm allowed 3 shakes 1 protein bar and 1 soup. I've lost 10 pounds but with that said I think it's because it runs right through me?As long as you are following it you'll be ok!

thanks and good luck to you on Monday as well !!!!

Glad to hear all went well. I am going in on 12/11 and feel the same way - excited but scared. It is great to hear everyone's stories and their progress through the months. You all give me such hope. During this whole process I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease so I am hoping this weight loss will make my legs feel a lot better. Mine is all in my legs and feet. I do not have any tremors or pain/cramping in my arms or hands at all. Legs are getting weaker so this weight loss should really help.
