Hi there,

I just got a surgery date of November 10th. I am very excited but nervous as well. Was wondering if anyone else was having surgery on or around that date? Maybe we could support each other through the pre op diet and the rest of this journey?

Cheers!

@@mokt I have already had my surgery (6 months post-op) but I just wanted to say congratulations on getting your date! A month from now you will be in such a different place...best of luck to you on this journey.

Thanks so much for the encouraging words!

Do you really wake up and are not hungry after surgery? I just dont know what that feels like and am so worried I won't be successful. Can you tell me what your experience has been like so far and anything that you read or did that was useful and might help me?

How are you doing 6 months out?

Congratulations to you as well!!

Sarah

I just got my date yesterday... 11/16

Looking for help as well to get through the pre-op diet! WE can Do This!!!

That's great! Congratulations! What does your Preop diet look like? I have 2 shakes and then protein and veggies for supper and another shake at night if I want.

Mine is Nov. 11th

My date is November 17!! Sacred and happy at the same time! !

I start my pre-op diet on 11/2

First 10 days shakes/broth/yogurt/

Last 4 days clear liquid only! I need a substitute for jello because I eat kosher... Any suggestions???

Monica.... I'm right there with you!! I left the surgeon yesterday elated instead of my usual crying lol because I actually gained 15lbs since my 1st visit 6mo ago... But I lost the 8lbs he required in 3wks! I quit smoking and was also in a deep depression and continued to make excuses for myself!! #nomoreexcuses

Wow mine is just 10 days of shakes 4xday plus 2 cups veggies optional

That sounds way easier!! I already drink 2shakes/day but I have 3teens at home plus a pregnant daughter.. I know it's going to be challenging!! But I know I can do this .. I'm soooo close!

I eat kosher as well and there are sugar free jello... and there really good...

I just got my date, it's Nov 4th my liquid diet started today...full liquids, 4 shakes a day and I can have sugar free jello and sugar free drinks like Powerade and broths

Kosher jello?? Where???? That would be awesome to find!

Where are you located? Here in Brooklyn ny they sell it...

Congrats FionaRen!!! Good luck on your journey!!

I'm in Cocoa, FL ... Not many Kosher sections in our stores!!
