pre-op question

Hi Everyone.. So my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning. I was hoping for a support group meeting prior to surgery, but it doesn't look as though any are scheduled. My question is this..Dr. Snyder has me on the clear liquid diet for two days prior to surgery. Any suggestions how to stave off hunger? Im concerned that I am going to be starving..and won't be able to think well. Any suggestions??

Honey if your doctor is requiring clear liquid I would do everything that he requires.. and remember that will acually be the HARDEST part that you will ever do !! and this is to shrink your Liver so that it will make your surgery easer .. Jello, Chicken broth, beef broth, Christal Lite teas, 7 up, Sprite, water, Ice Tea,sprinkle Cimmonon in Hot teas.. lol And remember you will NOT starve, infact many many woman and men have walked this same step that you are walking.. We all know your feelings.. have you thought about joining some online chatting groups for extra support and getting some advice from them.. this might help you as well getting to know some of the people that also used this doctor.. Good Luck and sending healing prayers your way..

I got this kinda late to respond.... How did surgery go? How are you feeling? Jami

Hi there, Surgery was on Wed..and now it is Sunday. I'm sure everyone has heard this before. I feel like crap! I'm tired and shaky..and I know it has to do with the lack of protien. The problem is that everyone I have tried has really made me nautious. Do you have any suggestions? I just keep thinking if I can make it to that three week mark it will be okay.

Are you feeling better?
