Yes I'm also 12 Jan! So excited! Starting my diet on 29th!! I wasn't told to do a liquid diet until 24 hours before , my diet is low carb and high in Calcium, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed coffee? Any idea?

I was told liquids two weeks prior and no caffeine

Congrats

Thanks!

My surgery is scheduled Jan 12th as well! Had my information session/diet and nutrition class today....Has me feeling both excited, anxious, and nervous!! Dr. ordered me a liquid diet only a week prior to surgery. Best of luck to my fellow 12th-ers!

I'm tentatively scheduled for the 1/12 too. So far my instructions only say 1 day of clear liquids the day before. I do have a bunch of test to do before then, including a preop paper from my PCP, bloodworm, EKG, chest X-ray and upper GI. I need to set up an apt tomorrow with PCP, but not sure how/where/when I'm going to get all of the tests done ...

I wish I was allowed to start my pre op diet on the 29th....Christmas dinner was looking pretty good today! I was originally scheduled for Jan 12th but I got a call two days ago saying my doctor wasn't "comfortable" with the date and they moved it to the 14th. They didn't specifically say why but I know my doctor travels to do surgeries and seminars so I'm hoping that's why. Started my pre op on the 22nd so for the next three weeks I'm stuck with protein shakes and a palm sized piece of lean with a cup of green. Fun! xD

Gotta say that I am jealous....my surgery is not scheduled until March. Wishing you luck on your journey!

Get to start my liquids on 12/29. Doc ordered 2 weeks pre op liquids for a 01-12 surgery date.
