Having surgery April 26th....anyone else scheduled for April?

April 25th! Started the pre-op diet today....so far....not too bad.

No' date=' but only because the expectation is pretty low for me right now. The Doctor said there is no way I would be able to get it all in right away and to shoot for 40 grams, everyday trying to get closer and closer until the first 2 week follow up. I have been getting to 40 without to much problem for the past few days. This week I am going work on exceeding that amt doing better and better until I have the first follow-up. My Doc seemed way more concerned that I get in enough fluid in the first few weeks then protein so that is where my focus has been. Though I am sure they will up the requirements after that 2 week follow up! [/quote']

That's the same thing my Dr said but I don't want 2 loose hair that suck

Surgery is 4/23 & I've been weaning myself off coffee. This is my first hurdle to jump & I'm already finding it so difficult. I'm so TIRED!! I don't want to complain to anyone (as this is an elective procedure and I have made a decision to go through with it!). So here I am complaining to you all!! I will make it.

On the brighter side, I had my final appointment with my surgeon & my pre op liquid diet includes some broth, fruits and veggies as well as the protein shakes! That will definitely make life a little easier. I also made my final payment to him and found out that because I am a nurse in the system where I will have the surgery, they are waiving my hospital co-pay!!

I am having Surgery April 22nd.. I am 4 days into the liquid diet.. ate a cube of cheese on day two but other than that holding strong!

I'm day 4 into my liquid diet as well. Not as bad as I thought. I tried mixing 2 different types of broth together to give it more flavor it actually tasted pretty good. Good luck!!!

I have noticed a little more hair loss than normal, but I do my best to eat high protein and no carbs. Almost like the South Beach Diet. No bread, chips, sugar etc. My taste had changed, I know longer can tolerate a coke, which Ur not supposed to have anyway, but I had to have one and glad I took a drink because it was awful. Candy, cookies etc taste like pure sugar, don't miss them now.I make a sandwich with one sesame Wasa cracker, ham and cheese. No need for chips,u get Ur crunch per say from the cracker. Also, I love Ede mama peas. You take them out of the pods and they are high in protein. I eat them like pop corn. I still drink my protein shakes, love boiled eggs, cottage cheese, yams with I can't believe it's not butter. Turkey Chile, water, ice tea. I did not like crystal lite. The after taste was awful. But, everybody is different and what works for one may not work for another. Good luck! Trust me..it only gets better.

April 15!
