Topic: Liquid Diet!
Has anyone started your liquid diet? I have prepped and starting to get ready. I have to do a 7 day pre-op. After a little research it looks as though the liquid diet helps shrink your liver to improve your surgery. I start October 11!

Not exactly sure what all yours will involve but I had my pre op testing last Wednesday. I spent the entire morning at the hospital (5 hours) after fasting for 14 hours. My tests were:
Upper GI
Chest X-Ray
EKG
Gallbladder Ultrasound
Urinalysis including nicotine test
Physical Therapy (to go over the exercises the surgeon wants you to do after surgery)
I also had to see my GYN for all that fun stuff.
I am glad I had all the tests done. It turns out that my help s not as good as I had assumed and helped me confirm my decision for surgery.

October 2nd for me.. I'm extremely nervous, thinking all the bad that could go wrong, I just read another post about a few people that were opened up and the Doctor found their liver was too large, and didn't do the surgery! OMG, how do you avoid THAT!
I've been trying my best on the pre-op diet for almost 2 weeks, 3 protein shakes a day and small meal at night, 64oz of water per day, I've been starving, and cheating in between, with some vegetables and chicken. I haven't had any carbs in this time frame, but now I'm nervous about my cheating, I guess I'll know Tuesday morning at 7:35 am. Wish me luck! and luck to all of you!
