I just got my surgery date...anyone out there my surgery twin?

I am having surgery on the 17th too! don't know about you but this pre-surgery liquid diet is for the birds - - gag me!! I have spent the last 3 days in the bathroom.

My doc doesn’t require a pre op diet but he did tell me to lose 10-15 pounds last month. I don’t know if that was to actually lose or to see if I was committed enough. I did the liquid diet and lost 13.5 pounds and gained two back. He’s fine with it all and well surgery is in NINE days girl. We got this

October 13th!!

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!! How's everyone doing on their pre-op diet? I lost 10 lbs as of this morning. Had a minor cheat on Sunday, but am back and stronger than before.

Update: I live in Sonoma County and, as many of you know, we are experiencing devastating fires here and in surrounding counties. My surgery is scheduled for 10/17 and I’m not positive it will happen. It turns out I am not sick but my sore throat was from the smoke I hadn’t even known about yet. Prayers out to all affected by this f***ed up sh** and hopes maybe to a surgery next week...[emoji15][emoji15]

I am the 17th also! I do clear liquids on the 16th and then ready to go!

Hi there, thanks for asking- I am alive and my home is still standing but I’ve been evacuated, we’re all surrounded by 22 fires right now. So very sad. I spent a few hours in the clinic yesterday and do have a bronchitis flare up from all the smoke, Im on steroids and antibiotics. Phones and power have been down since Sunday and Medical offices have been swamped with fire victims so I just got ahold of the surgeons office today and they said surgery isn’t canceled but it isn’t necessarily on either- I find out Monday, the day before. I may postpone it for a few weeks because of my lungs and due to not having a place to recover- I’m in a local hotel with my son and two cats!!!

I bet you’re excited ?? how are you doing??

I’m hanging in there. A little emotional yesterday and today but I’m still full speed ahead. Waiting on the phone all tomorrow. It’s so frustrating that we have to wait until a day before. I am trying to make arrangements for my 7 year old and I can’t until I know what time I have to be a the hospital.
