So proud for you and happy for you! I will try to keep updating this forum. Good luck!

Of course it's close enough!!

My surgery is December 29th. Is that close enough? I would like to have a buddy.

No way!!! 4 weeks???? That is awful
Being on this 1200 calorie pre op diet makes me realize how many calories I must have been taking in

Ok. So I start my two week preop liquid diet today. I can have a lean meat and a green veggie at night though. So that's nice. Surgery on the 29th.

I am also December 30! Feeling excited and scared all at once! Dreading being on a liquid diet on Christmas…But I can do it!!

I have a bit of "advice" on the Protein Shakes. One thing that really makes me gag are the chunky bits that dont get dissolved when you first make them. I just couldnt get one down. Now I make my shakes the night before and let them sit overnight. I give 'em a quick shake in the morning and the chunks arent there. I do strain through a mesh strainer just as a added precaution by its not necessary. No more floaties! In case anyone cant get past the chunky bits like me, hope this helps if you hadn't heard it before. My diet starts in one week (on my Birthday!) so I've been practicing.

Wow there is quite a group already... This is great the more the merrier. The count down is on!

That home ec teacher was a B for making those caramel brownies. How dare she. Now I'm hungry too.

I've been ranting about Pre-op too so don't feel bad I want to bite my arm LoL
I arrived at work yesterday to Cookies close to my office (I think its time to send out a mass email please don't sit unhealthy foods near me LoL

gotta keep repeating that to myself! lol

Lol!! No!!! You LOVE your pre-op diet because it means there's a New you waiting just around the corner! Those brownies and Cookies are gross and they stink because they are little devils in disguises just waiting to attack your hip, butt, ect whatever! You don't want no stinkin baked "goods!"! ; )-

I Have my pre surgical appointment with the surgeon on Friday then December 16th is my pre op education class and December 17th is pre surgical testing . I am too excited to even concentrate on Christmas shopping right now , I havent bought one gift yet. I better get my butt moving !!!

I went out today and bought all the Vitamins , gas x strips , Biotine mouth moisturizer for the hospital and premiere Protein Shakes from costco I agree with you the companies should send samples . I priced the Isopure Protein powders today in te Vitamin Shoppe they were $50.00 !! What if you don't like them ?

Dec. 30th for me! I'll be your buddy

I was thinking we could all friend each other and have our own group of people going through this surgery together. Would that be ok with all of you?

I'm the 29th too! Ins approved TODAY and I start pre op diet on 15th. Sooo glad there are so many of us right there together!

I am in. I have been on here for awhile and I don't even know how to friend someone. I will have to navigate this.

Awesome and welcome!

Yep, Dec 30 is my day as well.
