timetobefree 74 Posted October 18, 2012 Hi, All! I had my pre-op yesterday. So looking forward to this... He said he expects me to be at goal within 10-11 months. I am ecstatic! I got all the pre- and post-op instructions as well. Pre-op for a week. Post-op is Clear Liquids for days 1-3, add Protein Shakes for days 4-7, then pureed foods for weeks 2-4. After that, it's slowly adding in other foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we are all nervous BG but know that your thoughts are shared with most here, even the one who may have had surgery before. However I will pray that you will know comfort.
