Back from a 24hrs visit to the hospital, very sore and no bypass, liver didnt shrink enough, so couldn't have it.
said i could go back in 6 weeks after a 4 week pre op diet this time and not 2 week,
but not sure i want to, what if it happens again, and they cut me open just to be told in recovery they haven't dont it, i was so gutted and shocked, couldn't believe what they were saying, dont think i could handle that again, feel like such a failure,
i stuck to the last pre op diet the weight loss people gave me, except for a drop of milk!! only to be told it wasn't strictly right, and the hospital has give me a different one now, i just feel yukkie xx
has it happened to anyone else?

Caren

oh honey im so sorry that must have been awful for you, but do go ahead with the next one, im sure a different diet will help xxx

I did three weeks and they noted that my liver was still fatty. I'd had fatty liver disease for 7 years though so who knows how bad it was before the pre-op diet. Since my op my bloods are normal indicating that the liver disease has gone. I'm so thankful that it has ! I had open surgery.
Don't give up though hun. ad as you feel today it is much better to be safe than sorry and it will be worth it in the end.
Hugs xx

i am soooo disappointed

You must be, honey anyone would be, but you will also be in shock & so it isn't the best time to make decisions. Just be kind to yourself for a few days then get back on the horse & do the diet again. I did the milk diet which I feel was easier for me as NO opportunity to get it wrong ... good luck, sugar xxx

Aw you poor thing. Was it the milk diet? I did mine for six days as i had a blip at the start and my surgeon told now liver had been perfect, maybe the milk diet is slightly more affective?

No i wish it was the milk diet, it was 3.5oz chicken or fish, 2 eggs, 5 fruit or veg and oxo bovril to drink, was told over the phone by them that sweetner nd tinned tomatoes were allowed but my nurse said that was wrong,
Thanks twinkle your right about making up my mind, i will save it for a few days, xx

aw poor you. I think anyone would have been gutted if they had that! Better safe than sorry though, if your liver had started bleeding you could have bled to death! It must be doubly upsetting when you read about people cheating on the pre op diet and getting theirs, and then you stick to it and don't get your op. Next time you'll be ok. x
