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.

You got this!!! Keep us posted on how things are going

Hi Elena05,
I am scheduled for 11-28-22. You are getting close, how exciting! Are you doing the pre-op diet now? That has me a lilttle nervous but I am working on changing my thinking around the all liquid thing LOL

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.

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.

I am too! We will be okay, I am already using this site at least a couple times a day amd I have 28 days to go!

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.

Where you getting yours from? Have you got much to loose?

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.

Hi Sez22,

I am getting my surgery locally, in Las Vegas on 11-28. I have about 80-100 pounds to lose. How about you? When is your surgery scheduled?
