The Date Is Set!

[Beecharmer1982 9]

My surgery date is finally set!! May 10th, Austin, TX, with Dr Steven Fass. I start my 2 week pre-op diet next week. I'm so excited, so READY!!!

Any advise? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I've really enjoyed reading other threads. Still pretty new to all of this. Don't really know what to expect.

Wahoo, that is my date too! But I am heading to Mexico with Dr Kelly. Feel free to PM me or you can friend me on Facebook (if you are on there?), my name is Sharon Ivanauskas.

Maybe we can keep in touch & let each other know how we are doing?!

I start my 2 week pre-op diet on April 27th... just eating healthier meals, smaller portions, low sugar, low sodium etc. I am planning to do a Protein shake in the morning, lunch & small meal at dinner.

Then I have liquids only for 3 days pre-op (Water, tea, cream Soups, chicken stock, yoghurt, Jello, pureed foods).

Only tips are to try to quit sodas & caffeine now, if you can.

Also buy some Gas-X strips if you haven't already. Hear they help with the gas afterwards.

I also bought a heating pad, as I heard that is nice to have after surgery too.

I am a tiny bit nervous about the actual surgery, but more excited to start my new life!

Hey Sharon! I looked for you on Facebook, but couldn't find you. My phone is really slow at work... My name is Melanie Denholm if you want to search for me. I'd love to be fb friends! I'm excited to have someone to share progress with!

Talk soon,

I found you on Facebook, so requested to be friends! Always more fun & easier with a buddy!
