So excited! I was approved for my surgery today! I am scheduled for surgery on 10/26. One more week then 7 days of a liquid diet. I'm pretty nervous and scared for the surgery itself and for the adjustment afterwards. Any words of advice or tips out there?! Thank you in advance

Hello! I am 2 weeks out (9/26). The best advice I can give is that although the liquid diet sucks ( I was on it for 2weeks prior to surgery) DO NOT CHEAT! Your post op course will be so much easier. It's tough but you can do it! The surgery wasn't bad at all. See if they can get u a heating pad to sleep with in hospital.. lifesaving. Just remember how hard you worked for this, and your extremely limited diet is just that... Limited. You will eat food again. Good luck!

Congrats! I agree with @@nursemerry . It's so important to stick with your pre-op diet. It's not easy but remind yourself of the goal!!!

Woohoo for you!!!!!
