Any Catholics in the crowd?

So what better time to start your liquid diet than Lent?!? Is anyone else using this as a chance to have a more spiritual Lenten journey?

I have definitely thought about it, but I have no idea when I have my surgery yet so I no clue when I start my preop. I wil find out tomorrow and let you know. Its always great when you can Let go and Let God during Lent. Good luck to you!

Had surgery two weeks ago and am focused on prayer and almsgiving during Lent as I am still technically FASTING! Ha ha! Only one more week of full liquid diet, then start soft foods. Since some of the best Protein is fish/seafood, I will still technically be fasting long after lent is over!

All the best!

HI All!

I'm new to this site and just found these support groups. How awesome. I'm scheduled for surgery on 06/04/13 at Kaiser West Los Angeles by Dr. Casillas. I have my pre-op appt 05/20. I've gained some weight, so I'm trying to lose what I gained and then some before my pre-op appt.

I'm a sacristan at my church and I am scheduled for duty 5 days after my surgery. I don't think it should be a problem, but time will tell. If I feel I need a replacement, I can let them know by Friday.

May God bless each of our journies.

Old thread, I know, but I wanted to chime in. I'm Catholic, swam the Tiber in 1996 and my surgery is May 16, the feast day of St Simon Stock and the Monday after Pentecost. I was invested in the brown scapular and I'm praying the Pentecost novena as well as one to Our Lady of Mt Carmel. Just wanted to say hello!
