Hi, I'm new, too. My surgery date is Sept 20th and my pre-op appt is Sept 8th. I think I'm going to have to do a pre-op liquid diet, but I'm not for certain. I suppose I'll find out more on the 8th. Right now I'm feeling really overwhelmed about what to do, what to buy, how to do things, what works, what doesn't... I'm a little stressed.

You may not need to bring your medications. I had to bring two of mine because they didn’t have them in their stock but they typically tell you to leave your medications at home and make you use theirs. Very cute pill reminder though.

Oh I wasn't going to bring them! I'm just bringing my phone and charger. Just wanted to fill it now so I wouldn't have to do it later lol.

Good luck tomorrow! I looked at that pill organizer but I needed one that had 4 spaces and I wanted a month. That one looked awesome though. Update us when you can. I wish you an easy surgery and recovery!

Thank you!!

I bought the same organizer! Might as well be cute if we have to have a strict Vitamin regimen

Exactly!!

I was feeling that way, I did alot of research, and also looked up beriatric on Amazon just to get a feel for what was out there, they have alot of beriatric foods, and drinks that have protein in them, I ended up ordering some of the premier protein flavored water drinks, and the protein drinks and I like them both, I also got some of the soups as well, I wanted to try a few things out ahead of time because I know I have to do a week liquid preop diet, then 2 weeks full liquid post op then the 3rd week postop I can start to have things like pudding, and such, and they have alot of soft foods with protein in it to. It's been keeping me busy as well as making me feel prepared to deal with the diets because I've tried several things and found stuff I do like, now I don't feel like it's going to be horrible [emoji854]

Made protein jello!

And protein pudding, but I was dumb and used pistachio flavor...which has tiny pistachio pieces. No one else in the house will eat it, so I guess I'll be picking them out.

Starting day 8 of the pre op diet. No energy and lots of headaches but I am still hanging in and have not cheated! So I feel accomplished! As of yesterday I am down 11 pounds!

Mine is Sep 13th

The day is here. Prepping for surgery!

Make sure you are eating enough protein. I found my energy low when I hasn’t eaten enough calories (by way of protein). Hang I there!!

Btw congrats on the 11lbs - that’s awesome! ? ?

Congrats!! Sorry that you are still having headaches but 11 pounds in just a week is awesome. How have you dealt with having to cook food you want to eat?
