March 30th

I am so excited.......and nervous!

I know what you mean, I am th 24th.  Good luck to you and heres to a speedy recovery.  Good luck Dawn H

30th here too.  I started the liquid diet today...who knew steamed broccoli could taste so good?  I'm starving!

So, you get to eat?  What else are you allowed to have?  I start the liquid diet tomorrow.  My surgeon only allows the optifast and clear, sugarfree liquids ( SF Jello, SF popsicles, SF Crystal Light and broth - beef, chicken and vegetable).  Good Luck - I am only one step behind you!

My surgeon doesn't require a postop diet. Just liquids after lunch on the day before surgery.

But, I want to try to shrink my liver a little and lose about 5 pounds, so I'm going to do a semi-liquid diet (Slim Fast from tomorrow until date of surgery with a light real meal for dinner).

I have my H&P on Monday and then surgery the Monday after!! Eeekk!!

I am the 31st.  I know exactly how you are feeling!

Congratz on your surgery date!! I'm having surgery on friday March 20th! I've been on a liquid diet for the last week and a half almost. It gets old really fast just so you know! good luck

My surgeon allows protein shakes made with skim milk, clear, sugar free liquids, and certain full liquids like low fat cream of chicken soup.   They said if you need to chew on something you can have raw or steamed veggies.  And IF you get too hungry  you can have 1/4 cup of nuts or 2 Tbs. PB.  I just have to keep it to 1300 Calories and 100g of Carbs...The carbs are the hard part!  I'm glad my surgeon is more lenient than yours!  Good luck!

i must be the lucky one my surgery is 25th but the doc never put me on a liquid diet... I was required to loose 10 pounds are he would not do the surgery   I lost 23

I just check my instruction packet for a Liquid diet and nope nothing like it... I read the instructions again... No food after midnight....  that works for me

I'm excited too! My surgery is on the 30th as well. We'll do great!
