I’m new here and I just got my surgery date! I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I’m excited and nervous, it’s been a long year in the making. Any February surgery buddies out there?

It is so hard cooking for the family and then sitting down to a cup of broth lol. I’m just so hungry all the time and have like no energy. It’s like torture. Where are you located? Do you have to drink all liquid or do you get a meal too?

Shockingly I’m not hungry all the time just when I make the kids food I’m in queens ny I get a small meal of protein and veggies

technically it was considered 6 months but they were 6 LONG MONTHS! lol its based on your insurance
