My surgery is scheduled 4/8. I'm excited but, also super nervous [emoji27]. What are you guys packing for the hospital? Are ya'll stocking up on liquids (broth and protein shakes etc.) now?

@Kimberly1983@@ I'm praying on that lol not trying to do too many surgeries on the body lol

My surgery date is 4/7. Excited but extremely nervous. I started my preop diet this week and it is going well. I am stocking for the liquid phase but don't have many ideas for the pureed stage but I have a little time to think about it. One nice thing is my job is letting me work from home for the preop through the 6 week after so I can adjust my eating at home while still be able to work.

Just scheduled my surgery for 4/15 and I just turned 63, still wondering if I should go through with it ?

Absolutely... I just turned 60 in September, my surmise on 4/9, I am excited and nervous. But I am ready to take this next step.

Thanks, I am excited. Just nervous more I guess

@Delta Lisa same here, I'm working from home and the disability my job is offering is 6wks. I'm already home I can work after 2wk of post op lol

I was thinking about starting mine early also. I am suppose to start my pre op diet on the 2nd but, I might end up starting it at the beginning of that week. Have either of ya'll scheduled your pre op appointment with the hospital? I'm waiting on them to call me but, is making me super nervous! I have a pre op appt scheduled with my drs office but, they said the hospital would call me to schedule another one.

Just had my appointment with the hospital yesterday. Meet with surgeon again Monday. Had pre-OP class Tuesday also. Getting so close. Nervous!

I’m 4/16 after being rescheduled from 2/19 and then 3/19.

My doctor said to do1 day pre op diet!!! Am I the only one???

Wow! Two weeks, but it includes some food, not just liquid like many others.

Let me know how the shakes are I’ve only tried premier But. I like having options

I tried orgain, iconic, and pirq. Orgain offers plant based and grass fed; iconic are grass fed dairy shakes and pirq is all plant based (pea protein + almond). The pirq also has maca and turmeric so I ordered it for the nutritional boost. Honestly they mostly taste the same! There are some varieties in flavor but they all have the same protein aftertaste. But I got them because I try to eat clean/organic when I can.
