Did your surgeon put you on a specific preop diet? You may want to start eating higher Protein and ditch the carbs now. Less to deal with post op.

I had to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks preop. I understand that not everyone has to do that though.

Good luck!!!

Very important to follow the pre op diet exactly. It will help to shrink your liver and make your surgery safer.

Actually, I had to do the liquid Optifast diet for one month before surgery. No clue why I said 2 weeks above.

I was so nervous about going without food for that long. I made it through alright though.

Well, my energy level was a little low. The Optifast shakes are formulated to be complete nutrition so they contained everything that I needed.

Will you be on liquids only? If so, for how long?

I just noticed that you are only half my age. I think that you will do very well especially since you are young

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
