I'm a few days away from having my surgery (8/6), I am overly excited however I am also very nervous. The process took about 2 months which was pretty quick. I don't have to do a liquid diet but I'm currently doing one anyways for the next few days. I have to admit I didn't do a full 2 weeks of the diet my surgeon provided and I'm a little concerned my liver hasn't shrunk enough. I've been drinking protein shakes 2 times a day and eating dinner. I have my hospital bags packed and ready to go but my nerves definitely have the best of me!

Well tomorrow,is your BIG DAY. Boy there are a lot of August 6th people, so far there are only me and 2 others on September 5th, but I am sure there will be new ones this week, all getting started on their diets.???

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thank you both.. Today is the day.. Be back a sleeved woman ?. Updates later!

Good luck! You've got this! It's going to be awesome! We cannot wait for an update... (-:

Hey guys, I'm feeling great! After I was feeling really well. Actually, the worst part is the gas pain but not as bad as I thought. Anesthesia had me for a minute, I'm feeling up and ready to start my new journey!

So very proud of you and what you have accomplished now and for the future. Think I'll pop open a Premier Protein in your honor! Well it's time for it anyway, but I WILL think about b you while I drink it!!????

Cheers my lady

Hey I've been looking for a place to post this, I almost put it in the post surgery ?forum but I am still before surgery and I want to kinda whine, I am on Day#10 of a whole month liver-shrink diet. I am having ?problems to be honest. My Stoll doesn't like leaving me, Oh it isn't what I would call constipation, I always heard that way hard textured and this isn't hard. I'm on 1000 calorie,100 gram protein,70 grams carb diet. Maybe it's that my colon muscles are 72 years old, maybe it isn't as firm as it once was and my muscles can't get a Firm hold, but it aches and I have sit there for not all spectacular results. The last few days I've resorted to Miralax, maybe a little help? My preconceived notion was I would have diarrhea , nope hasn't happened, am I worrying for nothing? I had more defecation fun when I was eating at will, but I do want and need this surgery. Is this common?

I myself haven't experienced this problem so I'm really not sure how to answer that but suppositories gave me some kind of outlet, not that bm I wanted but it helped. Maybe your primary can help.
