33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

Still waiting for my authorization from medical aid, I am hoping it comes this week. Surgeon is just finalizing which hospital I will have it at before applying for my authorization.

I start my 1 week pre-op on the 7th Feb. I have been on shakes for months so don't expect a problem with managing with shakes and pre-op diet.

Although I assume it will be a little harder.

It is good that you are already started though, it will be a much easier transition to the pre-op diet.

Sitting at the surgeons office waiting to do all my pre-op fun. Let's do it!!!!

I have my preop next Friday. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!

I'm February 12th!!! Still haven't got final approval because we have to wait until the 1st to send the stuff to the insurance company, although they are certain it will go through!!! I started my liquid diet today actually and I totally dislike protein shakes... This is going to be the longest 21 days of my life!!!

2/11/13

Feb. 11th it is! I'm the first surgery so gotta be there at 5:30. Because I'm a revision I get a 2-3 day stay instead of 1-2 day and a larger chance that I get to go home with a JP drain (still thinks he can probably do it without the drain). If I get a drain I get to keep it for 4 (YES FOUR) weeks. That'll be fun at work!!!

And the best news of all!!!! His nurse lied to me, he only wants me on 2 weeks of shakes! I get to eat again til Sunday!!!! Woohoo!!!! I see a burger in my future

Slowly slowly slowly....we are getting there!!!

Gotcha added DreamInColor!!
