I got scheduled for surgery on December 8th! I start my liquid diet on thanksgiving! I’m excited and nervous!

Congratulations on your date! Sending positive thoughts for a smooth, successful surgery and recovery. I have an upper endoscopy on Wednesday, when my surgeon will look at my hiatal hernia and ulcer which he will fix during my RYN when it is scheduled. But, he will cut some polyps off on Thursday so I will be on a liquid diet Thursday and Greek yogurt for two weeks afterward so I feel you. You have a scheduled date! That's exciting!

Me too 8th of Dec! I’m from Europe!

I don't start mine until the day after Thanksgiving 11/25/22. My doctor's plan seemed to be a bit different than some that I have seen on here. He only requires 1 week. I've already cut back on so much though. How's it going for you?

I'm also on Dec 1! Are you on a liquid diet or some other type for your pre-op? I am doing Meal Replacements and feel very lucky for that.

No, I didn't have to do any type of pre op diet other than to change habits.

It’s going good. I’m trying to have different flavored shakes and broths each day. Four days in and ten more to go.

I'm scheduled for Dec 6th and my pre-op date is today! So excited ?

Met with the surgeon for the final time prior to surgery on Dec 5th. I start liquid diet 10 days prior. SO I will be enjoying a small slice of pecan pie in Thursday. The liquid side consists of a combination of Soups (tomato & cream of types) thinned. broth , Protein Shakes, assorted sugar free jellos (like the green), popsicles, pudding and yogurts and such. The only admonishment is Clear Liquids the day before surgery. It will be the same diet after surgery until advised to proceed to the next step. Obviously this is my teams directions, Your team will probably have their own requirements. Best bet is to follow them. After all, that's why we're paying them the big bucks.

Well wishes and prayers to all.
