Dec 10th for me!!!! What things are you doing to prepare for surgery? Exercising' date=' reducing food intake, Protein shake trails or just eating whatever?[/quote']

Not much right now. I just found out today that I'll be having surgery on December 21, so I'm trying to wrap my mind around what I need to do first. I have a close friend that had the surgery nine months ago, so I could probably ask her what I should be doing but right now I have no idea.

I'm exercising, eating smaller portions, and getting my mind ready for the 2 week liquid diet by having full liquids one day a week and increasing every weeks. By pre op diet liquid phase I will have my mind right.

I've been eating less and trying to eat healthier. I walk on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike some days. I need to start doing that everyday. I haven't been told whether I need to go on a liquid diet before surgery.

That's a good idea. I am going to try that!

One thing my friend suggested was to get used to taking small sips of Water instead of gulping. It will take a long time to get used to not being able to guzzle a whole can of soda or water. And to also test out or get some samples of Protein Drinks but not get attached to anything because your taste buds will change after surgery.

I'm going to add that to my prep. Good tip TheCurvyJ :-)

My surgery date is December 6th - it is very interesting to see that other people have not been given pre-op diet instructions either! I did buy a food processor and a juicer, so I can juice some veggies after surgery for the Vitamin benefit - I have heard from friends that veggies are the hardest to fit in post-op because most are low in Protein and high in bulk, so you don't have "room" for them. Otherwise, I have ASPIRED to walk more and eat less, but honestly, all I've done so far is do too much work in preparation for being off!

I have to complete a 10 day liquid diet. That's all I know for now but I haven't received the big pack o' info from Dr A's office. I'm not planning on being too crazy with anything until then.
