Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

Hi all! I'm new to the forum and am having my surgery January 23. I'm excited but also a bit overwhelmed with all the diet (liquid, puréed foods, soft foods, etc) stuff to figure out!

January 17th for me

Tomorrows the big day. Don't think I. A going to be able to sleep well tonight. Too nervous and excited!

Good luck! Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Jan. 17 for me too!

Jan 10 @ Hackensack hospital! I am pretty nervous but very excited too start my new life! Anyone else having it the same day or at Hackensack hospital?

I'm scheduled the same day' date='have you started your pre-op diet.[/quote']

Yes, I started my preop diet on 31st and I am starving!!!! I have to do 5 protein shakes a day and am allowed broth and sugar free drinks. That's about it!!

Today was tough - I started w a headache, prob due to no caffeine and it turned into a migraine but was told all I could take was Tylenol which does nothing for a migraine! I ended up taking a hydrocodone - so I hope that is ok!!

How is your preop diet going??

Wow good luck!! No my doctor doesn't do pre op diets.. I am cutting down on my foods though.. Hope you feel better!
