July 4th! Only 3 sleeps away. 3 rather hungry sleeps.... I'm so excited for this! A bit nervous, but I trust in in good hands. Is anyone else out there struggling with the liquid diet? Or are there different pre-Op diets out there? (I'm in Australia).

Hey! im july the 4th and also an aussie! from sydney

Oh wow! How exciting! I'm on the south coast. Having my surgery at Nowra Private Hospital. It's so exciting to finally be here after a 6 month journey through all the pre-Op assessments. I'm nervous for the recovery period at the moment though. I've got a 2 year old so I'm hoping that I'll still be after to manage with her after the first week post op (when hubby goes back to work). I'm new to this forum so I'll have to read about expected recovery times. I've got 4 weeks of work for my recovery it's nice to have a fellow aussie in here! Will have to keep in touch and see how you're doing afterwards!

Hey guys i had surgery Fri. 7/1. I'll be going home today hopefully. I did cheat. Although I didn't go crazy, had frozen yogurt on a waffle cone on Wednesday. I also had 2 slices of pizza the night before surgery. Although I had nothing else to eat or drink the whole day Until just before my cutoff time 10pm. Had procedure around 1030 am. There was no issue. No questions about what I ate. My surgery went well. So i wouldn't worry about it too much. Just be very mindful.

@@Candygyrl, First, I would like to say Congratulations on your surgery. Second, Thank You for the advice because I have been sooooooo worried.

How are you feeling today after the surgery? Any major gas pains? I'm assuming you are still in the hospital. How's it going?

I've been enjoying a few indulgences before I start my 2-week diet on 7/5. Nothing major - a hot dog here, some ice cream there, maybe a pastry or two. I'm not really dreading the liquid diet since for the past 5 months, I would usually have just a protein shake for breakfast and again for lunch and eating only dinner (with a few light snacks in between). My surgery is on 7/19. I sometimes feel tiny twinges of dread as I think about the actual procedure of what it going to happen, but I snap out of it because I know this is the only road for me because I am tired of the yo-yo-ing I've been doing all my life.

Mine's 7/7... Excited and nervous

My surgery date is 7/7/16 . On day 3 of the pre op diet and having a horrible time . It's so bad that I'm thinking about canceling my surgery. Is the post op diet comparable to the pre op ? I don't know if it's caffeine withdrawal or the strict diet but I feel terrible ! Headaches, nauseous and no energy . HELP .... Please give me hope and tell me it gets better .

If you could do it Chelle! If possible, go to bed and forget about it. I do not think my doctor or insurance requires the two-week liquid diet. I think it is a 24-hour liquid diet prior to surgery. I am so glad.

@@carlaw I'm trying but I feel so terrible right now . Thankfully I only have to do this Pre op diet for a week . I'm allowed 3 Protein shakes , broth , sugar free Jello & sugar free Popsicles. I'm so hungry !

@chellevsg I've been on the same liquid diet since June 23rd and 2 days prior to surgery I can't have any Protein at all, just broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. It does get better! You're in the home stretch
