Pre-op Testing & Diet

Nov 22, 2013

What a busy week it has been.  2 part stress test (resting and physical), nutritionist visit, blood tests, and PCP pre-op visit this week.  Then I also started my pre-op diet on Monday.

I can actually say it is not bad at all.  As long as you get the right amount of protein in you won't feel hungry.  The first 2 days I had a slight headache, but that could have been from the added stress.  I am feeling really good, plenty of energy.  Cravings went away after the first day or two, but the closer we get to Thanksgiving, the more I am thinking about solid food.  My surgeon said I can eat Thanksgiving dinner, just not to go overboard.  I am not sure I want to though, with only being 3 days out from surgery. I just want to make sure that my liver is small enough to make surgery as easy as possible.
