jtickle 295 Posted May 25, 2014 Surgery is 3 weeks from tomorrow. My preop diet starts in 2 weeks. Whew I can't believe how close everything is getting! I have been so obsessed that my surgery seems so far away that I didn't even realize that I start my pre-op diet in three weeks. Once June is here its going to creep up fast. I am so excited!! 1 amc2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amc2014 53 Posted May 25, 2014 @annymarie Go check out their website. You'll find all kinds of instructions and ideas for how to use their Protein powders.< /p> Based on my experience, if you get it too hot, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. It doesn't hurt the protein, just makes it clumpy. Ginger I will. thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so excited!! isn't it funny that most of us including me who have had the 6 month nut visits were annoyed because it seemed so far away at the beginning and now it flew by and we're like omg it came so fast. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtickle 295 Posted May 25, 2014 I feel fortunate that I didn't have to do the 6 month thing. I have no patience what so ever, I would of went insane. 1 amc2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlgriego 3 Posted May 25, 2014 I almost lost my mind having to do the 6 month diet. I had talked with my insurance and was told I wouldn't have to do it and then I was denied because I hadn't done it. Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I swear I could have killed someone but now my surgery date is just around the corner, June 3rd. I've fought for this for so long and now that it's here EEEKKK! 2 amc2014 and Koalsgrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtickle 295 Posted May 27, 2014 29 days to go!! I am not scared or nervous,yet. I have had plenty of surgeries before. I am more worried about drinking that nasty magnesium citrate for bowel prep. I have had the lemon flavor before, trust me its not good. Hoping that grape or cherry has a better taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtickle 295 Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Consider yourself lucky if you don't have to do bowel prep. My doctor never mentioned it either, it was in the pre-op paperwork and the handbook. The day before my surgery its nothing but Clear Liquids and a big bottle of magnesium citrate for me. That stuff is a super powerful laxative. I'm going to have a busy day....lol.
