Oh So Close!

I literally cannot wait. Tomorrow @ 1 is my pre op psych appt! Then next Wednesday is my upper endoscopy and then I am DONE! I stocked up on liquid diet foods today and I plan on starting it one week before surgery, Not required by my doctor but I thought that I would do it to mentally and physically prepare, something I decided since reading post from my peers on here :) But anyways I am so excited and I had to share!!! I have not told anyone besides my mom and my grandma. Anyone else keeping it under wraps??

I bought sugar free jello, sodium free broths, and my grandma made me some other good broths from scratch. And I've got lots of flavored sugar free drinks and powders. I also have an unflavored protein powder i though I would mix into broth or juice or something.

It's been good reading all your comments, I've got my preparation for surgery meeting today at 15:00 been nervious about it for months now and it's here.. Hopefully will find out my operation date as well.

Will take onboard stocking up on the liquid drinks, great idea :-)

Yay!!! So you've already done all your pre op stuff?

I am still preop as well. Have not told anyone other than my wife and son. Thanks for your tips on preparing.

Congrats!! What protein mix did you get? After surgery a great website to go to is chefwoody.com

Ummm I don't think so.... Pre op stuff like what??? Im in the UK and I think we do things a little different.

Day 12 of the 14 day liquid pre-op diet. I have to check in at the hospital at 7am Monday for surgery. I'm getting kind of nervous now. It's all becoming real.

I have a bunch of pre surgery requirements that have to be done, different blood work, a upper endoscopy, meet with a psychiatrist and a nutritionist, and some even requite a liquid diet two weeks before surgery, luckily mine does not :) But you have to do all that stuff before they will even schedule you for surgery.

I only bought a little bit. My surgeon does not recommend Protein drinks, they set you up on a meal plan and things that are good to eat, then if your not doing well enough that way, then they start to add supplements. But I bought ISO pure unflavored protein power, in hopes that i can mix it with whatever i am drinking at the time.
