Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

Wow yea for most it’s 6months. My surgery is FINALLY here!!! Tomorrow 12/11 8:30

Absolute best of luck tomorrow you've got this!!

So I’ve moved on to smooth consistency food today. It’s amazing how quickly I fill up. The best thing I ate today was 1/4 cup of mashed potato with a scoop of genepro protein (30 grams) and a tablespoon of salsa.

You get to go to smooth already ? im jealous im still stuck in liquids for another 2 days altho i did trial some really loose scrambled eggs tonight and i could barely eat more than a few bites.

Sounds like your doing great tho man well done

I still have so long until purées! 4 days post op and already sick of the full liquids!!! Everything is so sweet. ☹️

Yikes I thought the shakes were super sweet before surgery wonder how they’ll taste in a couple days

Keep us posted! Good Luck! I am right behind you, surgery Monday morning!

@kjuno hoping all is coming along well!

How’s everyone doing? I’m 4 days post op and starting to come around! Today i got out a bit, so that was good. Struggling with my protein and liquids!! Nothing tastes great. But I’m feeling a little better each day! No more nausea or dry heaving! Ready to get back to normal though— or my new normal!

Surgery was at 730 this morning! I've slept most of the day. Had some nausea but nothing the meds wouldn't take care of. Been sipping water and eating ice chips. Pain meds have kept pain under control. Gas pain has been the worse out of the three, but walking and moving around does wonders! Honestly feeling really good and happy! Hope this eases some minds of those who may be nervous! We got this!!

I have a nutrition appointment on Dec 12th and my surgery in Dec 13th. I’m excited it’s finally here, but nervous.?

Good luck girls!!!
