Whos in September? We need some September buddies!

[Jo Brown 26]

I'm from Elko, Nevada. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, I have to travel nearly 4 hours to get to the doctor. We have to get a hotel for a few nights. I'm nervous about the drive home and how I'll be feeling, but I know I can do this!!

Glad to know im not the only crazy one starting pre op...i have a fatty liver so i gotta start now to make sure its shrunk down enough...but the shakes and lean and green meal is killer :/

I'm Sept 16th in Houston!! Can't wait!!

Does anyone else have a pre-surgery liquid diet? The liquid diet starts August 27th and I think I am more nervous about the 2 weeks of liquid than I am about the surgery!!!

[luckypants 57]

I do! Protein Shake for every meal starting August 21! And I agree. Totally nervous:(

[Jo Brown 26]

Glad its not just me Lucky! The liquid diet is supposed to be 3-4 Protein Shakes per day and unlimited clear, sugar free and low calorie liquids. I am a SAHM and take care of my husband and 3 kids daily. I don't want to make it harder then it needs to be but I also keep trying to remind myself that 2 weeks is a short period of time compared t the rest of my life. Deep breath.....

Hi Kathy! What is your pre op diet?

[ckurtz 4]

Hi Jo

My preop diet consists of 2 Protein Shakes, Breakfast and lunch and then a salad with Protein at supper. Does not sound like enough to fill me up and I am nervous about my weak willpower.

I have to start my pre-op liquid diet 8/27 as well. Kinda freaking out a little too! What are you guidelines for liquids?

[janie2024 59]

My pre op diet is only 2 days of Clear Liquids, I was surprised when my Dr told me this I was expecting 2 weeks, I may do a few extra days just to jump start it.
