So, 3 days into my liquid diet I got a phone call from my doctor's office telling me they have to push back my surgery date. It's only one week, so March 8th. Just a little sad, I just want it over. It feels like it's been such a long process. Did this happen to anyone?

On a positive note, I have had lots of back pain and have been taking Motrin all day...thankfully I can take it. Next week I won't be able to.

I just can't wait until the day I have no back or knee pain!

Mine got pushed back 3 weeks so I can understand the frustration. One thing I've learned through this whole process, is patience. Don't be surprised if they reschedule it again- it happens. Things come up with our surgeons that can't be avoided. (Plus, I believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe you weren't menat to have it that day ) Think of it this way, your liver will be good and small for your surgery date! I was expected to do my pre-op diet for one week and because I had so much anxiety about it, I started 3 days earlier. Best of luck to you! The pre-op diet is the worst of it, believe me! Just have patience! Hang in there, friend!
