Did everyone keep to their pre op diets to the letter??
I'm meant to be having 4 tins of ww soup, 4 muller lights & a pint of milk... I'm only managing 1/2 - 1 tin of soup if I'm lucky, 3 yoghurts and around 1/2 pint of milk Do you think this will affect my liver shrinking. Have really really tried to get more in, but just makes me vom Didn't realise I would struggle with getting it all in!! Thought I'd be wanting more!! Ha ha

Hi,
I didn't stick to the LSD at all & had my band op on 23rd May...I ate a Chinese the night before my op!

Despite being over weight my cholesterol is fine & I'm not diabetic so doubted my liver wud be that fatty anyway...surgeon never mentioned it post operatively.

Good luck

Sorry i just noticed that I didn't answer your question early, not sure how I missed it lol. I told I'd be admitted in at 6.30 amd taken down to theatre at 9.30.
I love how you seem very upbeat and optimistic about the whole experience. Alot of people have experienced the 'what have you done?' feeling and regret. But I don't seem to get that from you which is quite a relief as i have read so many posts like that that I've started to think it happened to everyone. I appreciate every experience is a unique one but my nerves are starting to kick in now so good news is a relief lol.
Wow 2-3 teaspoons?! How are you finding that? Are you back home?

Good luck for tomorrow Jay, I am thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you on this side. Stay calm you will be fine.

Hope your op goes smoothly and you have a speedy recovery. Can't believe now fast that pre op time went. Thinking of you in the morning hugs x

Thank you jackie and weegie. Have to leave at 5 am to make my way there to be admitted in for 6.30am then I go down at 9.30. I wish I was as brave as you jackie, I'm just so scared it won't happen or that something might go wrong. Weegie looking back now the preop did go by rather quick lol.
Just doing some last minute packing now then going to shower and do what I can around the house before I leave
Jackie can you tell me what you packed please, what you needed and what you didn't please. I don't want to forget anything nor do I want to over pack. Thank you in advance xxxx

Hi nigglybits. How are you going? I ddidn't eat everything on my pre op too. I found it very hard to eat 4 soups as I was never a fan of them anyway. So on average I would eat 1 soup 2 or 3 yogurts, 1 cup of milk(sometimes), my multivitamins and vitamin d tablets and 2-2.5 litres of water. I did lack a lot of energy though and started looking as well as always feeling tired. You haven't got long to go now hun. Keep up the good work!

Hi guys!,

I've survived the week with my milk diet, I must confess I've no energy, but at least I manage so far, and 3 more sleeps to go.

Jay good luck with your surgery today hun. I'm sure you will be fine.

Aw sorry Jay, just got this and you will be on your way. I just packed the usual toiletries, PJ's and I took my I pad and that was a godsend for the boredom. Nothing else I needed. You are exactly the same as me Jay, honestly that's what I was scared of that for some reason it wouldn't happen e.g bed not available or live not shrunk, but here I am. A few hours Jay and it will all be over. Nerves are natural, just take it easy and it will soon be over.
I will be thinking of you all day Jay xxxx
