So today is the first day of my (Liver Shrink) Pre-Op Diet. My GBS is April 30th. Gulp. I’m a sleeve to by-pass revision. New surgery due to esophageal damage from GERD and regain ?. Moving forward with my head held high, using my mantra “it’s just fuel” to change my thinking about my former best friend named food. Wish me luck!

Erinshay are you in West Virginia? If you are, Mousecat is also, if not I just wanted to say hi from Central Ohio!

I am in WV! Hi neighbor!

As Minnie Pearl would say : H O W D Y! Did you know her real name was Sarah Ophelia Cannon and she was a very quiet lady in everyday life. Like many of the greats on the Grand Old Oprey, gone too soon. The younger generation only has records to remember them by, I saw and heard the real thing. My Uncle Clair once won a Little Jimmy Dickens- lookal8ke contest, Jimmy said he looked more like him than he himself did!

And I did the longest Liver Shrink I could, the entire month of August, see I knew I had NASH when Dr Needleman could feel Liver Margin when he examined my right subcostal area, lost 15 pounds at 72 but my liver was smooth, sleek and healthy at surgery time, that made the diet worthwhile for me!

I’m getting sleeved May 1st. Today is my first day on preop diet. I’m so hungry I am miserable.

Greek Yogurt and Fairlife milk are my saving grace with this pre-op diet. They chill the hunger for about 3 hrs! ?

I can’t stomach the protein shakes.

When is your surgery?

The clear protein drinks are easier to get down if you don’t like the milky ones. Test drive Syntrax Nectar, Isopure or Premier cleat. My surgery is April 30th!!

Are you nervous??

The preop diet was not fun. Yogurt popsicles and soup were my friend. I don’t want to eat soup again for a really long time.
