Are you on a pre op diet?

Are you on a pre op diet?

I'm not... Only need to do a clear liquid diet the day before, BUT I'm going to do mostly liquids this week. I'm going to do Protein shakes for 2 meals, then eat one small meal. It scared me to have to get an open incision because my liver is to fatty!!.. I don't have to do the bowl prep either, but I'm thinking of doing that also... I figure the less problems the better

Lost 8lbs so far since surgery day. It seems to be slowing down at the moment, but I'm not to worried. I'm only on day 5. My physical activity will pick up in the coming days and will be able to lose more.

Best of luck to all the peeps having surgery on Monday.

I have been so lucky to not experience any pain, so I wish you all a similar experience.

My surgeon fell and broke his hand so my day has been moved to the 23rd Kathy ;( How are you doing BTW?

I'm doing good thanks!! I'm so sorry to hear about your surgeon and your date! That's terrible. I'll update the lust ASAP. Hang in there.

That's great! I'm on day 5 and still haven't gotten back to the weight I was on the day of surgery....close though. I'm down over all from when I started pre op diet. Are you on Clear Liquids or are you progressed to other stuff yet? My surgeon does Clear Liquids for 10 days. Huge bummer, but I'm being a good and compliant patient.

Thinking of you this morning and hoping you have a good day and will be ready to come off that oxygen. A little over 48 hours for me until surgery. I am so nervous and excited at the same time.

Wondering how to join the group? Don't worry! You joined when you came on this thread and offered your support!! Everyone is welcome. If you'd like to be added to the list or if i've made a mistake, just drop me a line or lieave it in a post here and i'll update it! i'm certainly not opposed to anyone else copying and pasting or editing when i'm getting slack.. in fact it'll be appreciated especially during my surgery and recovery time! Love you guys to the moon and back!

[Kathy Pitcher 102]

I have a big favor to ask! Would you all check the list, and if you see any mistakes, or you want to be added, let me know tonight! Surgery is tomorrow, and I'll be posting from my iPod or tablet at the hospital, and this thing is much easier on a keyboard! That way I can get it all right tonight! After this, please feel free to copy and paste to make corrections! I don't mind at all! We went from about ten or fifteen when I started this thread to 74 people!!! And that's if I haven't missed anyone! I love this group!!

This bowel prep is awful. 8 oz, every ten minutes?!!?! Eww. Oh look, it's time again. Lord, help me.

[Montage 87]

just a shout out to godinez831, JenP, madorann, how did your operations go! Always good to hear from Surgery buddies.

You'll get through it girl!! It's the first step of many. Just be positive and stay by the bathroom! It will prepare u for the barium u have to drink after ur surgery.

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I could care less about any of that stuff now. It's all been worth it.
