We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

I too am scheduled for surgery on December 15th. I go to my Pre-op class at 8am Monday & start my liquid diet tomorrow. I am so excited & scared all at the same time. I have the craziest thoughts running thru my head! I am diabetic & stay thirsty all the time...so I'm thinking the liquid diet won't be so bad, but I remember waking up from knee surgery & the first thing I wanted was a drink! I even had a dream last night that I was in a desert with a pool... & no one would let me have any water! I know I'm nuts...so I just have to get my head in the ballgame! :)

Dmaddox. We had the same Dr as you. Good luck.

You will be able to drink after surgery. Just tiny sips though. They don't monitor how much you are drinking though if you are doing it through denton presby, which I thought was... odd that they don't monitor anything you eat or drink before you go home.

Are you ok with morphine for pain relief? Because that's what he gives, or diladid.

DMADDOX1...I am 20 days post op. I will say after surgery my mouth was so so dry I was miserable. I couldn't even talk. I was on ice chips for about a day then upgraded to Water. I also am/was diabetic and loved water. So that was hard. I haven't had a sugar reading over 115 since I got home from the hospital!! (In the hospital I was given steroids which I guess raise your sugars.) It will be tough but you can do it! Good luck to all the Decembers!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
