Mine is 23rd. I would love some support. Lets help each other

I am on the 23rd also.

I will be having surgery in Dallas at Doctor's.

I just found out yesterday that my surgery will be July 30! They moved it up from August... It's really great to hear that so many of you are doing so well early on postop.

You are allowed to have all that so soon after surgery?

yep! The full liquids im on for 2 wks, includes all those plus a few more things (yogurt, popsicles, milk-based soups). every surgeon is different, though, and some other ones are allowing their patients things like mashed potatoes and egg salad only 1 wk after surgery! I have been really lucky so far - NO Constipation, NO nausea, NO trouble getting in liquids or Protein. i was so frightened, thinking the absolute worst would happen, and every day is better than the one before. i wont weigh myself till i see my PCP next wk, i made a promise not to obsess over the scale, but I lost 20 lbs pre-op. also im having a better time getting up from bed - that was tough the first couple of days!!

What I have been doing being on Clear Liquids only had surgery Thursday the 11 th is Isopure 1 scoop in 8 oz Water 3x per day. Gives me 75 grams Protein and water mixed. It does take me aan hour or more to finish sipping one. Once 3 then I do broth and water. I have No desire for anything and feel full all the time. Gassy yes both ends I am afraid.
