This time next week I will be signing in at the surgery center! So close I can almost taste it! Tastes like protein shakes! Lol

Thank you! This link finally got me to the area to update surgery etc...

Where did you find it? I've been trying to figure out how to fill it in and have looked everywhere I can think of.

Glad to hear you are doing better. Good luck with going back to work!

First couple of days were rough for me too. Now, day 5, it's not bad. Matter of fact, the other day I walked into a place that sells Cinnabon, the scent of which usually gets my mouth watering, instead it made me slightly nauseous. I'm drinking tons of water though. The first few days this was to manage hunger, now it's just to keep hydrated. The low calories have triggered a couple of migraines though.

I was getting ready to order from Amazon when I found them at Walmart. They hadn't previously been there. You might want to double check walmart again because, for me, they were cheaper.

Had my original surgery 21 years ago. Scheduled for revision on the 21st. Also in the midst of the pre-op diet. Lost 7lbs already lol I hate that my Dr wants me logging my weight every day.

I'm on day 2 as well. I am allowed one small meal a day though, so it's rough but I know it could be worse. I'm drinking a lot of water and crystal light when I feel hungry. We've got this!

Good luck to you too!

Oh that's great news!

Sorry. Not even sure my office does a test. Although they did say, not quitting could cancel the surgery

Started my pre-op diet today. It's starting to feel real.

So sorry about the complications. You are in the right place though, where they can figure out a plan to get you on the mend! Thinking of you!

Good luck!

Day 1 of the modified liquid diet. Going to have to watch my blood sugars. I've got to see how they react to breakfast and lunch being protein drinks and a low carb/high protein dinner. Right now they were too low to need to take insulin when I'm not sure how they are going to react to the liquid meal. I'm not complaining though lol!

Oh no! So sorry to hear about the complications!

Good luck to you today!

I find it interesting how many ways these Dr's can make a liquid diet different! LoL

Congratulations to all you ladies peeking back in after your surgeries!

How many grams is each shake? Mine are 30 grams protein each so I'm getting 90 grams in just 3 shakes.

I was going to start early, but my 50th birthday is two weeks after surgery, so we are having a pre-birthday celebration so I can eat cake lol

That sucks that you've gotten to this stage 3 times! 3rd time must be the charm!

I start Monday as well. Breakfast and lunch shakes, dinner can either be a shake or 3-4 oz of a lean protein and 1 cup veggies.

You can do it! I feel lucky, I'm allowed to have 1 light meal a day instead of a shake if I want.

I hope it does resolve itself for you! I want to keep up with how you are doing.
