If anyone's interested, I'm posting on my profile.... 2 days before surgery, what i'm buying, how I'm preparing. Then, I'll try to keep posting everything that happens in hopes that it will help anyone who is curious!!

Dr didn't have me on a liquid pre-op diet, but been on shakes/small amounts off food for 4 weeks now. I start the liquid diet on monday (tomorrow) and then surgery tues morning. I just went grocery shopping today to pick up the necessities for the first two weeks. I got Jello, popsicles, Water, crystal light, broth, Soups, yogurt, some small measuring cups (like the 1-8 oz kind so I can keep up with how much I drink). I couldn't do the whey Protein (made me gag just to smell it). I was able to find the rice protein and it doesn't have near as bad of a flavor. I got the chewable Iron, tylenol gel caps, immodium, mylicon, Multivitamin chewable, Calcium citrate chewable, B-12 sublingual, and chewable iron (which was hard to find... finally got it at the Vitamin Shoppe). I picked up my prescripts for the nausea med and the prilosec meds (dr. gave me a script for the first 7 days) I'm getting my bag packed, laptop, book, comfy clothes, flip flops, robe, etc. Hope this helps those who are getting prepared!! I'll keep you updated!!

I'm with you! 3 more days!! May 1st for me too!
