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?

They said they didn't was up to the dr

Excited for all you February chicks (and dudes if there's any)

I'm a Marcher myself. Nikkno ill why don't you try mixing chocolate protein shake with your coffee, kinda make it mocha then every time put less and less until,you've deleted coffee out of the mixture. That way you might not get a caffeine withdrawal headache or swich to decaff. They want you off coffee because it dehydrated you plus it's rough on your healing gastric system.

started in June 2017 approved by insurance Nov 2017 - surgery will be 02/07

That’s almost exactly my timeline too. I had my first appointment with the dietician in June, sixth in November, saw the surgeon again in December for the final authorization and my surgery is February 6.

I got my surgery date for February 6th. I start my liquid diet on February 1st.. I'm terrified and so excited.

Good luck on all your liquid diets I DON T HAVE TO DO ONE (please don't b*****slap me my surgeon just wants a low carb but. balanced diet from his patients. He gets his revenge post surgery when I'll be on clear, full and eventually,mushies like everybody else). But I will cheer each,and every one of you on to success.

Congrats on your date! Today is my first day on the liquid diet and it’s not so bad I drink the premier protein drinks and they don’t have any bad after taste and are pretty good tasting. The only thing I’m struggling with is coffee I should’ve warned myself from it but all in all so far so good
Good luck to you too !

Not sure if you’re allowed, but I, too, missed coffee during my pre-op diet. I ended up ordered Chike coffee protein powder on Amazon (it’s kind of expensive); mixed it with Fairlife non-fat milk and a few ice cubes and it satisfied my need for coffee.
