Getting really nervous. Wanting to talk with others that are having surgery around the same time, to get helpful ideas on protein shakes, or other foods. And for encouragement.

I am having mine on Sept 17th. Start my preop on Sunday........good luck to you.

Congrats to both of you. Why don't you fill out your profiles so we can help you when you come online? The pre op diet can be brutal so don't be strangers.
