Looking for May 17th Surgery Buddy!

[palmtreegirl70 1]

Hi all. My surgery date is right around the corner (May 17). I am looking for someone having surgery around the same time and who has similar goals to buddy with to share in this journey. I begin my liquid diet on Monday the 10th. I went to the grocery store to stock up on things that I can have on my pre-op diet last night, and I think the reality finally hit me. It was very emotional and overwhelming to me. This is it.

Private message me if you are interested!

I was so happy to see your post!! I am scheduled for surgery on May 17th too!! I am scared and nervous too! This liquid diet is very difficult for me. The shakes are nasty, and the caffeine withdraw is insane (huge headaches, body aches, etc.)!! Honestly, I have cheated a little since starting my diet on the the 3rd. But, I keep imaging my life after surgery and I feel excited. I try to not cheat, but if I do I eat something really healthy. I just spoke with the hospital staff and there are some billing issues:confused:. But hopefully, I can work something out to still have the surgery on Monday the 17th. Think about the end result-how will you look/feel 12 months from now. Stay strong!!!!:scared2:
