  • Hello and congratulations to all of my January surgery buddies! My surgery has been scheduled for January 5th. So excited, feeling a bit surreal.

Jan 10th here. It just got very real. My doctor is allowing a high protein diet 2 weeks before surgery and the liquid diet only 2 days before. Is this normal? I know everyone is a little different.
My program requires a two week pre-op liquid diet

I will be getting a call from the nutritionist at Pompeii 2 weeks before surgery. I imagine that they will put me on a liquid diet for 1 week and clear liquids for the last week.

7 day Pre- op Liquid diet starting on December 30th. Things are getting close!

It's strange to see the difference in protocols between surgeons!

Mine only requires a high protein, low carb liver shrinking diet for 2 weeks before the procedure and clear liquids for 1 day before.

Fascinating some places require 2 weeks of liquids.

So many of you are getting your surgery next week... I am sending positive vibes to you all!!!

Mine is Jan 16th. I just had my required class of final details. Next week is preop appt and start of Liquid diet. I also had to change primary physician and therapist... since they left the clinics I was using. So much changing and going on. I just put in my grocery order to pick up Saturday for my liquids and post op liquids. It's becoming more real... I am scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. Scared because of all the horror stories I have read and surgery is scary to begin with. Nervous because I want everything to go well and work for me. I have been struggling with my weight since I hit puberty. And Excited since I am still working on ME and this is what I am doing it for.

Also wishing everyone who is after the first week positive vibes as well!!!

oh how do we join the Whatsapp group???
