Yessss! My surgery is Nov. 9th in a little more than 2 weeks also, Nov. 9th is my sons birthday . But due to payroll i chose that date. The surgeons office told me since i have a low bmi i only need to do clear liquids 10 days but i am choosing to do the 14 days. Wish me luck !

I wish you both luck and happiness as you near your surgery day. Congrats!

I'm the 9th as well! What state are you in? I'm in NY and having my surgery in NYC.

Hey guys I'm in Texas and scheduled for November 9th. I also have a low BMI. I don't go back to the doctor until 11/2 so if they put me on a preop diet it will only be a week. I'm so excited to meet people that are going through the same at the same time!

I don't have a time yet.I'll get that when I meet with surgeon on the 29th! I start my preop 14 day liquid diet on Monday. I'm also having endoscopy on Monday morning (10/26) at CMC-Mercy , bone density and nutrition counseling on the 27th. THIS IS GETTING REAL really fast!!! I just got the call that I was approved for surgery and giving me a surgery date on Friday (10/23) morning!!!!

I'm in MD and my surgery is also Nov 9th at 8:00 a.m. I've been reading some of the pre-op comments and it seems that a lot of people are on a liquid diet pre-op. I'm on a 1,000 calorie diet pre-op....I'm wondering, why the difference in protocol?

I'm having my surgery on Nov. 9th as well I'm in Jersey. Good luck to you. I'm really nervous about starting my preop. diet Monday. I have to drink 2- 3 shakes and one small meal.

My surgery is also on the 9th, i also drink 2-3 protein drinks and was told to have a cup of homemade chicken broth (which i am cooking now for the entire week) or cream of chicken or mushroom. We both start tomorrow

I got a letter in the mail yesterday telling me to do 3-4 protein shakes and 1 meal (meat&veggie) a day until the day before. Clear liquids the day before. Still nervous...my date is 11/9.

My surgery is November 10th and so many mixed emotions. I am excited but anxious regarding each step along the way (pre-op diet, flight to where my surgery is taking place, surgery, post-op diet, flight back, recovery, going back to work, cooking for my family etc). I am just reminding myself to take it one step at a time and to focus on the current step in front of me rather than jumping ahead and worrying about a later step. So far this seems to be working.
