I have a Surgery Date of July 17th!!!! No pre-op diet, which is awesome, sooo excited and nervous at the same time!

Glad you got a date. Congrats on that. Just a little hint on the "no pre-op diet" thing though. I would take it easy with the eating 2-3 prior. You don't want to be too full and bloated when you go to the hospital. It will make you feel so much worse. And going to the bathroom (bm)...ugh. It's good to have that cleaned out before you go so you don't have to strain any more than necessary for a day or two. I have had 3 abdominal surgeries, trust me ,I know. Best wishes and keep in touch :0)

You look terrific!! Congrats to you! I as well have have 3 abdominal surgeries, not including 2 c-sections, 1994 and 1999....I should clarify that I don't need to do a pre-op liquid diet...I have been doing "low carb" for the last year and only have lost 27 lbs, very very slow...I continue to do low carb and I don't plan on even having that "last meal" prior to surgery as I don't want my liver to be in the way, so my surgeon said just keep doing what I've been doing and

don't gain weight, I will be fine....so I will continue to "watch it"....thank you for the heads up! I will keep in touch., thanks!

Congrats!!
