Heya! My surgery is next week, but my birthday is about 3 and a bit weeks after that, so I have been asking myself the same question! My plan is to make everything as non-centered around food as possible. I am hoping to go to an animal experience so I can pet some capybaras, and then just see my family and watch some movies or something! Don't get me wrong, it feels weird that this will be the first birthday in like 28 years where I haven't had cake, but at least I should be feeling happier for the first time in many years! Where I have lost something, I will also gain! Happy belated birthday ❤️

This cracked me up! 😂Congratulations!!

Heya! I started my pre-op diet a week ago and it was so hard in the beginning, but I promise you it does get so much easier after the first 2-3 days. You got this!

It is awful! I can't wait for it to calm down - but it just keeps coming 😂 thank you for the hope!

Heya! I completely get the nerves - I am definitely feeling it too! It is only natural to feel that way, it is a big step we are taking I started my pre-op diet on the 30th May, so I am almost a week in. The first 2-3 days were really hard, I won't like. Cravings were biting my ass, and the pressure headaches were unreal. That being said, it does pass, and then it is pretty manageable. I don't feel like I am struggling as much at the moment! You got this!

My dietician said I am only allowed meal replacement stuff so that it has all the vitamins & minerals I need in them, so no other soups I am gonna have to grit my teeth with it I think! Almost there for sure! I can't wait for it to be over haha

@pamela It is so annoying isn't it! I literally just feel so gross, but I know it'll pass How are you finding things?

My skin is breaking-out like a b***h I am used to my skin being a bit funny as I have PCOS, but I have proper broken out in spots all over my chin and one on my cheek and it is insane! Did anyone else's skin do this? I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. Finding it much easier to manage now as everyone said! One mistake I have made though is only ordering one flavour soup I thought I would like, and it turns out that it just makes me gag now 🤢

My boyfriend is just cooking for himself, but it is really weird to not eat with him at dinner time & also seeing him eat and thinking "I really wanna smack you right now" 😂

So glad to hear it was a success and that you are doing well!

I am wishing you all the best for your surgery! I have mine on the 14th so I will let you know how it goes and we can keep in touch if you like? I haven't had surgery since I was about 2-3 years old! I am DEFINITELY taking my crocs, and they will be put in sports-mode for my shuffles down the corridor haha. I second the no more back pain!

That is amazing! How are you feeling?

Good luck for today! I will be thinking of you! ❤️

Dupe

I am definitely doing the same! No more coke zero and energy drinks or prosecco for me. I am just getting in the mindset that I can't have them again - which is okay! Thank you so much I am definitely going to try my best!
