I am scheduled for surgery on September 15, I'm nervous and excited. I've been on this journey since February when I started the leg work. My surgeon told me to loose weight before the surgery to make it safer however, I have not been told to do a liquid diet like some of you have. I am starting to try out liquid Protein shakes for post-op; as well as liquid Vitamins. Am looking forward to being part of this group as we start our count down.
