I can’t believe I can possibly be having my surgery in less then 2 weeks!! Saw my surgeon today. He went over everything again and explained my pre-op liquid diet that I have to do for 5 days. Signed the paperwork needed for insurance and they will submit it on Monday. (They would’ve submitted it today but they just need my notes faxed over from the weight loss Dr and their office is unfortunately closed on Fridays.) just praying now that I get the approval and I get it in time. Looks like I’ll be having a nice clear broth and Protein Shake for Easter dinner this year! Lol

My surgery is also on April 25. I’m at Duke NC.

i am on day 3 of liver shrinking diet and i’m so hungry that I cannot fall asleep

I guess I should not complain anymore because I’m still allowed some salad, non starchy veggies, lean meat and eggs. Small amounts but I see that I should be thankful is not just liquid.

I have been experimenting with lots of Protein Drinks and the one I am seeping on at the moment is Glucerna, much better taste then the more expensive options.

Good luck ladies and keep posting. I would love to keep in touch and share the experience with each other

Congrats on your surgery date as well!! We can be surgery twins! I’m dreading the pre-op... but at least you get some more solid food options! The only thing I’m allowed is a cup of steamed or raw vegs a day and 3 Protein drinks. The rest is Clear Liquids or broth and sugar free popsicals. But we have to keep our eye on the prize!!! It will be worth it in the end! Good luck!
