  1. So I just shaved day before surgery and I was looking on online of things not dondo before surgery and it said do not shave. Now I’m worried! Can anyone please clarify.
  2. I’m my prep op diet. I have 4 days left until surgery and just started having bad constipation. Any advice would be helpful.
  3. Having surgery next Thursday and I’m worried of my hair falling out. My hair is already thin to begin with I have to take thyroid pills for a hypothyroid and it’s gotten thinner over the last few years. I’m very self conscious about my hair it used to be very thick and now I just miss it. If anyone has any advice on products that work really well I would greatly appreciate it.
  4. Surgery is a week from today. Getting really nervous!
  5. Unfortunately I cannot have any which I am now getting headaches from the withdrawals.?
  6. I have been on the pre op liquid diet for five days and the first 2 days were really hard. It gets better hang In there. I’m only allowed 4 shakes. No coffee which sucks and I’m having headaches from the withdrawal. One think I am doing is putting crystal light in my water that has helped a lot.
  7. What should I do if I feel like I’m getting a cold before surgery. It’s scheduled 6/28.
  8. Thanks for the advice! I love coffee and that’s one thing that has been hard on my pre liquid diet not having.
  9. Just seeing if anyone has any suggestions on what to eat later down the process after surgery. Can you still have coffee?
  10. Good luck to you also!

  14. I am having surgery 6/28 and need advice on choosing a shake for my preop diet. Any advice would be great. Since my doctor told me I can only have the shakes for 14 days I would like them to taste less chalky.
