My nurse said I can make protein shakes just make sure they are blenderized and no chunks

Congrats I'm 09/25 too arrival time is 10am surgery at 12:30pm. Do you have to do a preop liquid diet?

Crossing my legs like a young woman Cuter clothes Running around with my son

I have started trying to do at least 1 full day a week liquid. 3 shakes, water with a drop in, and so Popsicles

I'm excited, and nervous just hope I do well.

Does anyone with a 09/25 date have to do a preop liquid diet? Mine begins on 09/11. For those already on liquid diets what are you having?

Thank you all for your responses I will see what my surgeon says.

Surgery date is 09/25 I work mostly at my desk but it's definitely high stress working on automobile total loss claims. I also am the office notary so when customers come in to take care of claims I'm up and down doing that. Personally I'm the single mom of a 4 year old, my mom will be able to come the day before surgery Weds. but has to leave Sunday. Realistically how much time should I take off. I'd rather have too much approved and go back early then not have enough.

Thank you I will definitely be talking to my surgeon at my pre op appointment on the 22nd. I would rather go back after he has released me to solids and I have a solid routine but we'll play it by ear. I'm just fearful of going back and ending up out again....my company is big on occurrences for unscheduled time.

I have a question about time off also. I work mostly at my desk but it's definitely high stress working on automobile total loss claims. I also am the office notary so when customers come in to take care of claims I'm up and down doing that.

Hi everyone I officially have a date SEPTEMBER 25TH 2014

So I submitted to insurance last Thursday 07/24 it was approved Friday 07/25. I notified my surgeon's office Monday 07/28 they confirmed they had received my approval packet and it has been sent to my surgeon to sign off on. Here we are August 2nd and I still have not been contacted to schedule. :-(

I have my last supervised diet visit 07/30. I know insurance approval can vary but about how long after insurance approval would I get a date?
