My clinic is allowing me to have protein shakes up until the day before. Just so you stay on track, I would reach out to your medical team and ask.

I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow while on vacation.? I have core power, cream soups, and broth. Does anyone have any pointers for me?

Good Day to everyone! Hope everyone is feeling well. I have a question for those of you who have already had their surgery…what words of wisdom do you have for those of us who have upcoming surgery?

Remember it is worth it and follow doctors order afterward to a t to avoid unnecessary complications. I had bypass 7/5 and I'm sore but it's not horrible. Keep moving and work the gas out. Good luck on your upcoming journeys

Tuesday for me! I just had my last bit of solid food, a spoon of peanut butter as my last snack. Per my dr, loading up on Tylenol ahead of time. Tomorrow is liquid only and my last day at work for 3 blessed weeks.

We have an hour drive after work, a ferry ride (I love ferry rides!) and then about 30 minutes to the hotel. I'm mostly packed, just deodorant, my tablet, and Kindle. Maybe a spindle for spinning yarn.

I have my pre op appointment today. My surgery is scheduled for 26th. I’ve been cleared for my psych eval. I am self pay so I will be making my payments today. I can’t believe this is happening.

Hi everyone - my surgery is actually tomorrow. For some reason I’m weirdly calm right now. Maybe the nerves will set in tomorrow?

Unfortunately my procedure isn’t until late in the day… lots of time to think…

I am one week out today. I had my surgery last Monday. The worry and anxiety before were way worse than the past week has been. Today I feel really good.
