Have a pre-op testing Sept.27th if all goes well I have a tentative date of Oct. 4th. Extremely nervous and excited also.

You won't have to do a pre-op diet?

After the first initial meeting with my surgeon in July, I started substituting one meal a day with the protein drink and began drinking 32-64 oz. of water. By the middle of August I increased it to two protein drinks and 64 oz. of water As of Sept .20th, I have been on the complete pre-op diet.

Awesome. Welcome to the 4th October surgery club!!

A daily meal plan for the patient’s pre-op liquid diet may look like this:

try to follow something like this. I was told i could sneak in a 4 oz piece of chicken boiled in broth, and have unlimited sugar free ice pops ( only 15 calories each, so 20 is only 300 calories..lol)

I snuck an egg yesterday - try for the feedback - I'm starving the food smells so good lol

a boiled egg is fine. you can also have a non fat low/no sugar greek yogurt..I think the hardest part is not chewing anything all day, so I bought sugar free gum.In the long run, it'll be worth the sacrifice now. Stay strong!

I'm so hungry! Day 5

I'm so hungry! Day 5

Keep drinking fluids every hour. Eat sugar free jello or have sugar free ice pops. Hang in there, your sacrifice before surgery helps pave the way for your future. I believe in you.YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

I'm scheduled for 10/27 in Mexico with Dr. Illan. Super excited!
