Hello! I totally get you, I got my date and was like wow that’s actually less than 2 weeks away. Just know you can ALWAYS say “I have more questions to be answered.” Do no feel rushed. Your doctor didn’t offer you a consult with a nutritionist? I would highly recommend asking so you can get a pre op diet. I know most surgeons are different but usually pre op diet is all liquid diet 1-2 weeks before surgery. Sugar free jello , popsicles, black coffee, water, crystal light.

Thank you so much! I think some of my pain is gas pain. I try to walk to help release it. I’ve tried to drink a little bit of a protein shake but after 3 sips I just felt like I couldn’t hold anything more down without gagging. I’m really scared about hair loss/thinning if I don’t drink enough protein. I will def mix in some warm fluids too!

Hello everyone! I just had my surgery 2 days ago. Post op is a little rough. Any tricks on how to stay hydrated? How long did it take for the pain to go away? Good luck to anyone who is about to get their surgery! And congratulations to everyone who has completed their surgery!
