Recommended Posts

Hi I’m new here, my surgery is scheduled for dec 7! I feel very overwhelmed at the moment— with all the prep and appointments I’ve been having just to get it all done! I know it’s the home stretch but it’s been a lot!! I go in between feelings of nervousness and excitment! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Perfectly normal to feel nervous, you'll do great! :)

From what I understand, the liquid diet is really only for the 72-48 hours before your surgery. The pre-surgery diet (2 weeks prior) usually consists of low calories and clean eating. Nothing of what I call the "white death"... no dairy, no sugar, no wheat :(

Does anyone know how I can get my rings off of my fat fingers??? I am pretty sure I have to take them off for surgery. They have been on for almost 30 years and getting them off is going to be a chore. Thoughts?? Thanks!!

My surgeon and many other surgeons in my area want you on a complete liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Protein Bars are the only non liquid form of food. Where did you hear this?

The nurses at the hospital helped take my grandmothers jewelry off of her before surgery, but they unfortunately had to cut her bangles off. I would try to attend YouTube University for some tips and tricks to see if you can get them off beforehand so you don’t have the same experience!

Au contraire, mon ami! My liquid diet is 8 days prior to surgery - mostly milk and yogurt and clears, then clears only 24 hours before. I might be ready to perish at that point!

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
