Welcome to the community!
It won't be long at all until your big day and you're gonna do great! We're all behind you! What kind of things are you "eating" on your pre-op diet?
You can read my sleeve review, if you click on the link. I tried to make it as detailed as possible because I know how much all of the reviews I read, helped me.
Good luck and keep us updated with your progress!
Oh, so you're not on an all liquid pre-op diet?
Thanks for sharing. It's normal for nerves to kick in, but you'll do great. By the time you wake up it will all be over with and you won't have known a thing about it. We're all here to support you! :-)
Hi there, every doctor is different, some let you eat one meal a day, mine didn't. I would definitely call your nutritionist and get their advice, before changing anything.
If you're getting headaches maybe try having some jello or something in between. It may be that you're carb crashing, which is the point of the diet, to lessen your carbs and therefore shrink your liver. Just don't go below 30grams of carbs per day.
