Well, I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I must admit, it's a pretty relaxed diet. I'm allowed to have vegetable soup, fresh fruit or a salad, in addition to my protein drinks, broths and sugar-free liquids. I feel satisfied, but my mind doesn't. Do you think it's just because I have to prepare a big meal for my family tomorrow and I won't be able to eat? I will be sleeved on the 30th & I feel a little more anxiety each day! I'm excited to start my new life, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared!

You wouldn't be human if you weren't anxious/scared/nervous!  It's major surgery! Sounds like head hunger vs actual hunger.

Thanks! I think you're right... I'm usually eating while I'm cooking & I won't lie, I was considering taking a bite of mac & cheese or a piece of ham... Lol. The thought of my surgeon trying to maneuver around my fatty liver helped me decide to stick to my diet.

that is exactly what kept me in check was the fatty liver.  If I were going to have any complications, it would not have been because of the fat liver that was living inside me!!  Stay strong!
