Well I got my surgery time!! 7:30am tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!!

Good luck. I go Monday at 10:30

I had surgery yesterday. All went well. Now just trying to keep the fluids going and start introducing pre-mixed protein shakes. In a bit of pain and nausea, but I remember this is just temporary!

Hang in there. ❤️?

That’s great news! Congrats

Ending Day 2 of 14 of my preop liquid diet. And today SUCKED!!! Monday I did great and no issues whatsoever. Today at work was a little more difficult. I'm sitting here fighting my head hunger and drinking my water. I know this is just the beginning to an amazing road ahead of me. Trying to keep busy and not think about not eating. The protein shakes I have are New Direction. The vanilla one is horrible, but the chocolate one is good. Okay Day 3 tomorrow.

On another note I'm so happy to see everyone that has had their surgery already! Can't wait to hear how everything is going.

I have 6 days left my surgery is scheduled for December 10th and today seems to be more trying for me, I made it through Thanksgiving and I have been drinking the unjury protein shakes, the vanilla was really good, so was the chocolate! I am wanting to eat things that I know I will not be able to eat after the surgery like tonight my husband fixed breakfast for dinner cheesy sausage, scrambled eggs and biscuits. I wanted a biscuit so badly but and just a bite of the cheesy sausage which is cream cheese cooked within the crumbled sausage! Oh my goodness I am getting hungry again thinking of it! I have lost 4 more pounds since my visit last Wednesday. Stick to it we can do it!

You are going to do AMAZING, you are encouraging me. I'm modifying my menu and have begun purging certain foods out of my rotation. I plan on going salad crazy, since lettuce is off limits for awhile post-op.

New Direction has a few products that I like. I like the vanilla and lemon pudding. The soup was okay as well.

Currently sipping on turkey broth and it definitely helps. I think I need to make my own broth. I'm allowed 2 8oz cups of broth each day in addition to my 2 Protein shakes and 1 mini meal. We are definitely going to do this! My surgery is scheduled for 12/16. Tomorrow I see my surgeon for the last time before surgery. I feel like it is getting VERY REAL!!! I'm interested to see how much weight I'll lose on the preop diet.

@loridee11 - I’m at the South Sacramento location. I don’t think any of the Kaiser’s prescribe a liquid diet before surgery.

I'm having my surgery at Kaiser in Southern California, I have a one day liquid diet.
