11/28 is my birthday. Its a good day.

My surgery is Nov. 8th. I am scared that even though i am following the prescribed diet, I must be doing it wrong and my liver wont shrink right.

It is a good day! I am sure you are doing it right, I think as long was we don't eat anything we are okay LOL! I am really trying to be positive about the liquid diet thing. I just had to do it for one day for another procedure and I did okay so my thought is one day at a time. You are almost there you can do it, keep me posted on how you are doing.

Anybody out there? I haven't scheduled yet, but it will certainly be in November. I'm still doing a little research, a bit nervous about traveling to Mexico by myself.
Can't wait to hear from others. Thanks and I will keep you posted.


I’m having mine in November! Very nervous

My surgeon doesn’t require the pre-op liquid diet. Only light eating for 3 days prior. I’m definitely getting nervous. Trying to stay positive. We’ve got this!

I am allowed 2 Protein Shakes, 2 small approved Snacks, and a lean cuisine type dinner per day up to 5 days prior, then im cut to 1 snack.

I am seeing others who aren't required to do the two weeks either but then there are others who are required to do it. So I am just following what my surgeon told me to do which is the two weeks. I think either way is going to be good, just depends on the surgeon.

Hi all! New to the site. Scheduled for surgery on Nov 1oth in Dallas (I live just north of Dallas) - Super excited and nervous. I'm on day 5 of the 2 week liquid...Sometimes it's way easier than I thought and other times it's way hard (when my brain starts it's madness about what I 'want' or 'deserve')

Glad to have others at the same stage as we go through this.

FYI - the fruity pebble Protein Powder is absolutely fantastic to me :) makes me feel like i had naughty Cereal for Breakfast instead of being on my liquid diet this week!!

one more day of liquids to go before Thursday surgery!!

Wednesday night I have a special bottle of pre surgery Ensure to drink along with two tylenol to prepare. Then Thursday morning I have to take an anti nausea med on the way to the hospital…..

so nervous!

Hi everyone. My surgery is on 11/23 with Dr. Fok in TJ Mexico. I start my pre-op diet on November 14th. My pre-op diet consist of Protein Shakes and salads with a Protein. I'm getting anxious as surgery gets closer. I just want to make sure I have everything I need when I return home.

I love the fruity pepples! But i buy the premixed shakes from alani. They meet my requirements but i feel guilty each time lol.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
