Any October surgeries out there...

Hope that everyone that started on the liquid diet is doing good. I heard that the first three days are the worst. Time sure is going slow while waiting for insurance. Anyone have any troubles with the stress test?

Day 1 liquid diet. Not bad so far.

This is the end of my 3rd day...this a.m. I was down 4 lbs. I wasn't required to have a stress. Don't sweat it...you will do great.

They have for me. No Fiber to move things along' date=' if you get my drift. :-)[/quote']

I was told prior to surgery by my dietician to stop all "supplements" and fiber supplements before surgery. This is mostly important for fiber and Omega 3/6/9 as they increase the risk I bleeding during surgery.

Good to know. Whether I'm backed up or not now, I know that I won't be backed up Tues after the bowel prep. Maybe I'll stop adding fiber until then.

I've tried to change it up by adding sf syrups. It makes me feel like I've got more choices.

Soooo super happy to report that I saw my surgeon for my pre op visit on Friday and he said I would just take the ABX for the H Pylori for the 10 days and they could book surgery. No need to wait 4 weeks!!!

Madison Molly- where did you find SF Syrup?

[DevilBlueDress 189]

In the coffee isle at my local big grocery store and on Amazon. Look for Torani and DaVinci brands.

What's the stress test? I'm about a week away from scheduling surgery date but haven't heard about a stress test

Its a cardiac test to ensure your heart is fit enough to withstand the surgery. There is one using a drug called thallium and one where you get on a treadmill. My Dr didn't req one.

Less than 48 hours until surgery and I am starting to get more nervous but also excited. Clear liquid diet starts today.....no solids at all. I was worried about these 2 days but with all the excitement in my head, I think I will be okay. Still can't wrap my brain around the fact that very soon, I will be much smaller. Haven't seen a smaller me in years. *fighting tears*. Best of luck to everyone!!! You guys have helped me tremendously.
