My name is Alexandria. I'm scheduled for surgery on Jan 16th. I'm really excited but a little nervous as well.

I started my liquid diet today. I didn't have any problems with hunger. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will go as well.

Looking forward to talking to everyone!

Hi Alexandria, I have my first appt on that day! I hope you the best of luck with your liquid diet.

My surgery is January 15th. Today is day 2 of liquid diet and it has been a little harder than yesterday. Hang in there!

I'm a week in to my liquid. The first few days weren't too bad, but now, I'm going crazy! Thank God for sugarfree pops!

Welcome everyone! The support you find on this site will be so useful. It prevented me from calling the doctor's office with what I'm sure they consider "mundane questions." You will find people in all different phases of recovery which will help you to know what to "expect." We have some who have had more than a hiccup in their recovery and our thoughts and prayers go out to them. The information isn't meant to scare you---just to inform. Remember we are just a small smattering of the overall surgery patients that are out there. Overall you will find that many do quite well, and when they don't they can rely on us for the support. This journey has so much to offer!

Hi! I'm new too I am just stalking this site to learn all I can, along with YouTube and reading books on nutrition. Best wishes to you!
