Hey all.... Some of us figured it would be easier to buddy up so that we could follow each other through the process from here on out.

I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept 8th and I start my liquid diet on Sept. 1st. Everything happened so quickly after my last NUT appt. yesterday..... I am feeling a combo of nerves and excitement. I have to get labs done tomorrow morning, I see my surgeon on Thursday, and I have my pre-op next Tuesday.

My husband has taken a few days off work to be with me and I have started making a list of things I need before the big day.

......... I can't wait to be on the losers bench.

Yes I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet, and I don't know about everyone else, but I'm hungry! It's been hard for me, but I just keep on keeping on!

It's not easy but I don't think I'm really hungry most of the time.... I think I just want what I know I can't have.

I am so happy that I actually like Protein shakes though.

I've been drinking the Atkins shakes, and I really like them too!

I drink pure Protein, total lean and shakeology.

I bought the pure protein in the cans so that I would have something to grab and go that won't seem gritty after surgery.

Has anyone tried Isopure shakes? I'm thinking about going to GNC to pick some up this weekend. I know I like Visalus shakes and have some of that already, just want to have a few different ones on hand in case some don't agree with me after surgery.

I haven't because it seems like the reviews are about 50/50 on taste and I have a lot of protein drinks that I already like. I don't want to potentially waste the money.

Hi guys, Hope everyone Is doing okay just letting you know my surgery has been canceled. I'm really depressed and won't be on here for awhile. I pray that you guys have a safe surgery and a speedy recovery.

Omgosh Shauna29, that's a huge bummer...!! Why did they cancel, if you don't mind my asking?

Shauna29, I am so sad to here this!! Definitely saying a prayer for you this morning! Don't lose hope...thinking about you!

I'm not on liquids till Saturday and Sunday....

Y'all keep up the good work everyone's post are encouraging and making me realize that it's not that bad....

I am so sorry to hear this.... I read that others have gone through this before and it is always a blow especially so close to the date they gave you. I hope whatever it is, it's fixable and can still be taken care of so you can have surgery this month.

Hang in there girl....

Oh no, that's awful to hear. I'm so sorry and hope you are hanging in there alright. Hugs.

Just a weekend to go.... Is everyone ready for the 8th?

Nervous, but ready!! My "show time" is 9am Monday!

You're lucky... I have to wait until noon. No drinking anything starting at midnight and all that waiting.

I am going to want water.
