Im on my 2nd day of my liver shrink. Its not easy but I am pushing through. I am having trouble with my primary care doctors office and getting my pre op clearances scheduled which is pissing me off and making me nervous. Its so frustrating that Im working so hard and they keep giving me the run around.

Good luck to everyone with upcoming surgery 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Well done! But that has to be so frustrating that your PCP isn't getting their part done.

Today is day 3 for me. I definitely feel the pounds coming off though I have a bit of a headache and fogginess. I know from past experience that a lot of that is caffeine withdrawal. I hear from others that it gets easier.

Thanks for the encouragement...Yes we can do this!
My surgeon will be Dr. Minkin in St. Louis. He’s such an upbeat person and I’ve had good experiences with him doing several colonoscopies over the years for me that I’m not worried about him doing this.
I’m mostly worried about disconnecting from my comfort foods, I definitely will need to find some activity to take its place.

I was supposed to have surgery in June and got a call today about a cancellation so now it’s May 19th!! I attended the final class today and have my pre op doctors appointment on the 13th. I also found out that I get to start my liquid 3 week diet tomorrow-surprise. I thought I’d have more time to prepare but excited to just get it going! I’m having gastric bypass due to severe GERD as well.

YAY, that's my day too!!!!!!!

today is day one of the liver shrink for me... The constant thought I keep having is “I’ve done so well today, what is my food reward going to be?” no more food rewards for a while 😩

I am day 11 of pre-op liquid diet, and I have the same thoughts! My husband is taking next week off to take care of me after my surgery on Monday. He called and said, “Today is my Friday, and then I get 12 days with you!” My first response was, “Yay—let’s go out to dinner and celebrate!” Then I was like... 0h, I forgot broth for dinner! 😔 I think it will take a awhile for us to stop thinking of food as a reward. Thank you for sharing!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
