I hope your surgery went well! How are you feeling?

I hope that the surgery went well and it wasn't as bad as your nerves were preparing you for. I am pretty nervous as well though, so I understand your feelings. Mine is on Monday.

Hi there! Yes, I have a small list of foods I can have (about 5 different things) once a day, but I also have to take 5 protein shakes a day for 2 weeks and this is on top of the 64 oz of liquid. Most of the ones I have seen here do not require 5 shakes a day that I have seen I don't think. I think it is so weird that we all have very different pre-op diets. But yeah, no matter what kind of pre-op diet we have to be on, it kinda sucks lol. I still think we are lucky though for what we are going to have in the end. Yes, I am a doxie mom. I have three dachshunds, all black and tan dapples (1 senior, 2 brothers, varying degrees of dapple), all mini (tweenie actually) smooths. I also work at a dachshund rescue. I am the crazy doxie lady lol. Nice to meet both a fellow newbie here and fellow dachshund mom. Good luck on your surgery!

Hi everyone! I just registered tonight. My surgery is in less than 2 weeks, on March 27th. I don't have a lot of support and I am hoping that I can find some here. I am ready for the surgery, but I am also very scared about it. I am now on the pre-op shake diet. I don't know if that is common everywhere, or just with the VA. I have to take 5 shakes a day. Today is actually my first day of it. There is a small list of foods that I can eat daily as well, but it is small of course. I don't know why I am explaining this as you all here probably know. Ramble rant over lol... I just wanted to sound off here saying I am brand new and I have a March surgery date. Good luck to all that have one coming up and I hope the surgery went well for all those who have had it already this month.
