July 22nd!

Hey everyone!

My name is Natalie! I just joined this amazing group! I'm definitely looking forward to my surgery, I finished everything on my list except the psych eval which will happen this Wednesday, after that I'm really hoping to get my surgery during the week of July 19! I'll definitely post more after all my paperwork is submitted!!

Best of luck to everyone!!

My date is July 13th as well! I start my preop liquid diet on Monday!

July 13th... eeeeks

July 13th for me too!

July 10

July 23rd is my date. just got approved. Not really nervous yet, just excited. My doctor does not require you to do the liquid diet prior to surgery anyone else been thru it and not have to do the the pre diet?

My surgeon is only requiring a 3 day liquid diet before surgery.

My surgeon requires liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery. I start my liquid portion July 13 with my surgery date being July 27. I think I'm more nervous about that than the surgery.

@@gertiemay, I just started my 2 week liquid diet on Thursday. The first two days weren't too awful, but I did battle with head hunger and cravings. I work 2nd shift and typically am not a breakfast eater so I would have a shake at 2pm, drink two bottles, have another shake at 5pm, drink more water, have a shake at 8pm, a lot more water, and then a final shake around 11(I don't go to sleep until LATE). That routine helped keep me "satisfied"; however, the copious amounts of food were terrible. Now, here it is day 3 and it's easier to not look at food and want to "cheat".

Just make sure your protein shakes have enough protein. I started with the Atkins Advantage shakes with only 15g of protein. I had a muscle milk this morning with 40g and seem to be more satisfied. I do not like the amount of sodium in those, so I will be making the changes to Premier. Now, I'm not much on sweets so my Nut is allowing me one serving of fat free, low sodium, broths. That has been a God send at this point!

You can do this!!

July 16th. I'm nervous too. I think it's good to be a bit nervous because it is a major change and it's surgery. I'm just ready for it all to be over because I'm not looking forward to the pain.
