November buddies where are you?

[blessed4 6]

Hi! I am new to this site. My surgery is on Nov 11th in Oxford MS. I started my clear liquid diet today! Any ideas or advice!?!?

Hi blessed4

My surgery is Nov 11 also. I am on a liquid fast for two weeks. If your doctor said a clear liquid diet did he give you a clear supplement to mix with Water. If not I would call his office and asked how you will get nutrition for the weeks before surgery.

I do have a product I brought online that you mix with water and it is clear. Maybe he is thinking you should use something like that.

Hi tignet!

Thanks for posting. The sheet they gave me says "clear" but the list consist of sugar free drinks and sodas, sugar free Popsicles and Jello, broth and I can have 1-3 Protein Shakes a day. Where will your surgery be?

Heck yeah!!.... Getting more nervous by the minute. Just got out of my pre-op class and waiting to see the surgeon (which is 2hrs from now). After that I stop buy the Vitamin shop to pick up my unflavored Protein and I'm all set to start.

I feel exactly the same way, every day I get closer, I feel more nervous about surgery. My date is November 4th.

Has anyone tried the high Protein Shots? There are many different brands and most have 40-50 of Protein in about 3 ounces. Just wondering about them.

Deep breath! You will do great. This will all be over before you know it. By Christmas we will be eating again and be pounds lighter. Any discomfort is only temporary and our healthy new life style will be permanant! Start thinking about that summer vacation - and shorts!!!

I think its only natural to be nervous. Its a big deal. Its surgery and the unknown scares us. My surgery is next monday on the 4th. I am nervous but have faith that everything will be ok. My best wishes to you who have your surgery this friday.

Just try your best to trust your providers and know that in the long run this will be the best thing for you! They are all professionals, and they will do their best to make everything smooth and as comfortable as possible for you! Try to focus on your postop goals and guidelines. The surgery part is just a tiny blip on a long road of your journey! Get excited! Your life is about to change!
