Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

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

Okay, I've sent messages to everyone who has asked. If anyone else would like to join, or if I inadvertently missed you, just let me know!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! November will be here before you know it!!!

Mind if I join in? I have surgery on October 29th. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow (which I am super nervous about). I think I will most miss coffee. haha I had myself a moment at Starbucks this morning after all my preop testing and teaching. I'm anxious to get the surgery behind me. ~Krystal

I am one week from today and very anxious. Wish I could go in and do it right now. Hate the waiting

I am 2 weeks post op.. I had a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache for a week... But went away.. I can't stand the taste of coffee now.: it's tea now for me.. Which is good less caffeine..

Yeah the 2 weeks before goes so slow.: but thank god didn't have to do the pre op diet like I see a lot have to do..

Good luck to you both

Oh I hear YA.. I miss the taste but it doesn't taste the same..But trust me your taste in things change after surgery.. I actually had a post on taste buds changing after surgery..

Best of luck to you

Well, I started my pre-op diet today and I must say that it's really starting to become REAL!! Woke up, had a boiled egg and a strawberry nectar protein smoothie. Around 3 hours later a cookies and cream Quest protein bar. Again three hours later a 2oz piece of baked chicken and a lemonade nectar protein shake. Today has been really easy so far and hopefully it stays this way. October 21st here I come!!! )
