I am a newbie. Been lurking for a while. I am having Bypass on December 15th. Insurance approved on the first go. I am a little scared about the liquid part before the surgery.

I have given up all carbonated beverages 6 weeks ago, caffeine and sugar in my coffee. I am trying to make as many changes as possible before my surgery. I am blessed to have a very supportive husband through all of this.

I hope to have surgery at the end of December. I am giving up soda next week and just this morning I was thinking how sad I was about it. Hope I can let it go!!

Good luck on your surgery. Remember walk, walk, walk, it will make the recovery process go better.
