During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I am scheduled to have my surgery Oct 6 in Newark, De. I am feeling very nervous. I have been on my optifast diet for a week and a half.

I Just had my last nutritionist visit yesterday and I'm scheduled for 10/28. I'm starting to feel nervous now but exited as well. I'm looking through the forums to get an idea of what liquids I should get for the pre op and post diet

wow you got a quick date..

Hi everyone, I had my EGD done today. I am 2 weeks in to the pre-op liquid diet and I have 12 more days to go...I am excited and anxious... Surgery is Oct 16, in Greenville SC.

_{I'm done! Everything went well. This is one of the few times I don't want to eat. Just getting the liquids down is hard. Right now all I can say is thank goodness for pain meds! The only thing I could compare it to was my 2 C-sections, they were 20+ years ago and this pain is nothing like that.}

Learned earlier today Im sceduled for 20th as well! No liquid diet, but i'll try for at least a week to get ready. Anyone knows of someone who had 14 days liquid before v someonr going in w/o fasting prior. Any difference in experiences afterwards?

Few more hours to go for me!!
