Went for my pre-op covid test today. I need to quarantine until Tuesday (surgery day).

We made hotel reservation to be closer to the hospital (it is an hour drive from the house).

Today and tomorrow still on the high Protein liquid diet… Monday is all clear liquid and I start my blood thinner shots.

I need to get my overnight bag packed pack yet, but I’m trying hard to not over pack (like I always do).

I’m super nervous and ready to be on the other side of surgery.

How is everyone else doing?

Hey love, my surgery was on August 2nd and I was also worried about my overnight bag the night before surgery I kept asking the nurse if I could bring my things with me or should I get it dropped off. They told me I was able to bring it with me but for some reason I decided not too. I was going to let my boyfriend drop it off for me. My surgery was scheduled for 10 Am and I honestly I didn’t go into surgery until like 2 or 3pm I believe. I woke up in the recovery room around 6pm and went into the actual room I was staying at around 7pm I was in so much pain due to the gas that I forgot that I didn’t have my phone with me but my bed was next to the window and I realized it was already dark outside meaning that it was night time. So my boyfriend was not able to drop off my bag. To be honest you don’t need much I’ll recommend a change of clothes to leave the hospital and some headphones. You are provided with everything else to be honest.

Just got my confirmation call for my pre-surgical testing appt in Tuesday! Its becoming soooo real! Argh!! Also, I ate some a pickle slices. Do you guys think that’s terrible? Where do pickles fall on the list of things you can’t eat on the liquid diet? Anyone have any ideas?

Also for those of you who have had your surgeries already thank you for posting your stories and how it went. Its making it easier to wait on line for my turn to come!

Hey love, during my two week diet I had cucumbers with tajin seasoning which is a lime and Chile seasoning I also had a turkey sandwich I know I was not supposed to but I did. You should be 100% fine.

I’m struggling to get in my Protein, all the sweet/thick Protein Shakes make me so nauseous… I’m drinking Bone Broth now, and it’s going down much easier! It’s only 9g Protein which isn’t much, but I figured something Is better than nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hello, I got my surgery on August 2nd, and wow it’s been a crazy experience. I have not been able to keep much down. Pre op I was doing great with protein premier but now I’m not I throw it up. I tried Isopure and it taste so bad to me. I was given the okay to start on puréed foods but I can’t keep it down without having a feeling that I’m choking. Trying to keep Water down has been horrible I could barley get in 16 OZ. The worst part is that I’m about to hit my two week post op mark on Tuesday and I’m still not doing well. It’s really mentally draining.
