Pinkbabe2011 1 Posted February 7, 2011 My pre-op was last Wednesday the 2nd. And I received a call from the insurance company today approving my surgery! I'm so excited that I can actually say that I am 100% going to get this surgery! My surgery is March 1st and I start my liquid diet in about 2 weeks. Any advice for me to prepare for? What should I bring for my stay at the hospital? Any advice helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klus263 9 Posted February 8, 2011 My go to clear liquid was chicken broth. I drank it like most people drink coffee. I would fill a hot mug and take it with my while traveling. Congratulations on getting approved. Remember after surgery...walk, walk, walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
