Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

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!!!

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

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 I'm Cathy!

I am booked for surgery on September 2nd with Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Tijuana. I am very excited, but nervous for the pre op diet.

Hi Kathy! What is your pre op diet?

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.

mine us the 11th and i had my egd today ant it was no sweat!!!!!

My surg is 9/11 and I had my EGD on 7/26 as well!

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?

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.

Iim September 9th also!!! I'm super happy!!

Wow! So many September 9thers! Me too Will be thinking of you and LuckyPants and KTodd. We got this!

I'm nervous about the liquid diet also, I feel like if I can't do that... then I will not be successful post-op!! Also, worried about my fatty liver.. not being small enough!!
