I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 9th but I'm supposed to start my 14 day liquid diet on Thanksgiving.

Anyone else starting that day?

No, I'm starting the Monday after, for surgery on Dec 14. You can do this! Sip your protein shake (or whatever your pre op plan is) and enjoy the company of your loved ones! Thankful for our new, healthy lives!!

That is rough lol. Start off right

LOL! Rough is right but I will be with my family so I guess I can sip my shake while they eat. Can I spike my shake?

I'd say yes but I am sure your surgeon would say otherwise

Probably right.

Mine is Dec 9th too. Let's keep in touch! Ekangos@aol.com.

Starting my pre op tomorrow for surgery 12-11. I'm not gonna lie I had a food funeral yesterday for Thanksgiving but now it's about to get real!????

Had my pre op appt. on Nov. 25th and my Dr. said I could start my liquid diet today. So yay, I had thanksgiving yesterday. Today and until my surgery it's liquids only. Going to be hard but so worth it in the end. Shits about to get real!

Hi TxStella, did you start your liquid diet today too?

I start pre op Monday. Sadly, I did have some food funerals yesterday and today. But, looking forward to tackling my new life very soon!!

Mine is December 9th too. I've tried to avoid food funerals (food is my abusive but persuasive ex!) but it's been tough. My surgeon said a full liquid diet isn't necessary, but is a good chance to find liquid Protein that I like, and gets me into appropriate habits. I've been allowing myself one small meal a day. We don't have family locally so yesterday wasn't too tough, just a nice turkey dinner!

I am choking down the pudding. Yuck!

Hi Kym! No my doctor only has us do 3 days preop 2 shakes and a healthy meal. Are you nervous? I read these posts like everyday just trying to see what to expect. I would love to go thru this journey with you!!

Me TOO! Surgery buddies!

So exciting! The nerves are starting to kick in. It'll be a challenging week for me, since we have parent teacher conferences 2 nights this week. Long days on protein shakes!
