Is anyone else having their surgery on this day? I go to my class tomorrow and also start the pre op diet tomorrow! I am so not looking forward to this part of it! I'm gonna be so hungry! Ugh!

U only have about two weeks on your preop diet. Time will fly by. Just keep yourself busy so that your mind can be elsewhere other than food. Congrats on getting a date for your surgery.

March 3rd is my date too! I started my prep diet today and it's been a struggle, but I feel better! Because I have to stick to this diet I am not focusing on "what my last meal" will be! Two weeks will go by so quickly for us! Where are you getting your surgery? I am in San Diego.

Hi takefeline! I start it tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it at all. But you are right. The time will probably go by fast. I haven't got my diet yet so I don't know what I can and can't have! What's yours consist of?

I am in IL

Did you find out anything more about your diet? Mine is 3 protein shakes and one healthy meal. So not too bad! But today I worked a 12 hour shift (I'm a nurse) and I was starving by 5 pm! I didn't bring enough food with me and thank goodness a coworker had some extra fresh carrots and peppers. Saved the day! Is your diet pretty similar? Tomorrow I have a preop class for four hours. I meet with the dietician, surgeon, and go over paperwork for the surgery. One more day down!

I have surgery on March 3rd as well!!! I started my pre-op diet today of high protein and low carb. At least I don't have to do it for a full 2 weeks. I can't help but feel panicked at this point because I know how hungry and crabby I'm going to be for the next few days!
