Mine is the 18th, on my third day of the liquid diet and feel tired and weak. Hope it gets easier.

Just saw my surgeon for the last time until my surgery on the 18th. She gave me the pre-op diet sheet which includes more food than I thought there would be. Unlimited raw vegetables (certain ones), dill pickles on top of the liquids. I couldn't believe how much was on the list that I could have. This is going to be much easier than I thought. No full liquid diet until after surgery.

Wow, you are having lots of challenges, yuk. Wishing for you to be better soon and get through your pre-op with no more problems ????????

Welcome to the group . You're on your way! Hope you make it through your pre-op with no problems! Julie

Good luck to everyone who is having surgery this week . Keep us posted, when you can, of how you are doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ????

You'll do great, the rest of us are here for you and will be cheering you on!

Good luck in the morning to you ???? we'll be thinking of you !

Just read it......good information to have, thank you !

@losingit74. So far, from what I know post-op there is about three weeks of liquid diet and then on to soft foods if all goes well to that point. I don't know much about the sleeve to give you an idea of how it would be different. Wishing you the best

I'm in the same boat with having not much hair to begin with, but a wig it is if it all falls out ! Has anyone heard of rubbing olive oil into your scalp before bedtime to stimulate growth? Someone told me about it recently but I haven't tried it.

I ordered Protein sample packs from unjury. Included a chicken Soup flavor. The instructions said to not heat above 140 degrees and advised to use a food thermometer. Hope that is helpful.

I am super nervous too but I know there is no turning back. Just keep thinking how much better you are going to feel down the road Welcome to the group!!

Its so great to see so many caring people on this board, I am truly blessed to find you all so looking forward to the new friendships and being able to support one another! Jenn and Jeffrey...........Welcome to the group!! DaBliss, thank you for adding me as a friend! Anyone else is welcome to also if you'd like Julie

You are so lucky!! Good for you on no liquid diet This is so exciting to see another on the bench!!

OMgosh I can so identify with you about quitting smoking and gaining, I have done it too. Uuugh, it's so hard not to gain when there's nothing to smoke! Best wishes to you!!
