Looking for 10/13 surgery buddies

[Marielbx 37]

Hi everyone!

My surgery is on 10/13. I have gone to all my appointments and fine everything required for surgery.

I'm feeling superrrr excited and can't wait till Monday.

Ps. This pre-op diet SUCKS, but I'm sticking to it 100%.

What's your story?

Hi Marielbx, I'm with u on the 13th. Like you, getting really excited! I've had to do a 2 week liquid diet; I think yesterday was hardest for me, I was just hungry ALL day!! I got through it though, and today hasn't been that bad. Can't believe it's getting soooo close now! Good luck to you, I'll be thinking about you.

I'm also on the 13th!!!! Super excited, but nervous. I got all of my test results back this week. My Vitamin D levels were low, so I started taking a supplement. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet; I just have to do a liquid diet the day before. Good luck to you both!

I'm not the 13th, but is the 14th close enough??? I would do really bad things for some Mexican food right now, but I guess that's why I'm in this situation! Have you come up with any good ideas for broth?

Good luck on Monday!

Woohoo I am on the 13th as well! I am ending my day 3 of the full Liquid Protein diet. Yesterday was tough. Today I was hungry but not moody and weak. So much better!!

Thank you. I'm excited for us both!

And I would do really bad things for Mexican too!

I made chicken Soup w onion, pepper, carrots, garlic, pumpkin & plenty of cilantro. I then separated the broth from the chicken & veggies & saved it to purée for after surgery.

I also made a turkey chili w kale, carrots, peppers, black Beans & tomatoes. Idk about the Beans in the beginning. It's been fart city today' ????

Tomorrow I am making a butternut squash, tofu Soup.< /p>

Good luck on Tuesday & keep me posted on ur recovery!

I can't believe the day is so close either. Today was okay, but Tuesday was super hard for me. I was starving all day and had a huge Migraine. I'm focusing in the surgery to get me through it.

Please keep me posted on ur recovery.

What foods have u been eating for the preop diet?

This is so exciting!!!!! Can't wait for the 13th! Let's all keep up w each other. I have severe anemia so I have to take ridiculous amounts of Iron

But I'm doing what I gotta do!

[TSJackie 27]

I'm scheduled to have surgery on 10/13 too. I can't believe that it will be here so soon! I am only required to do the liquid pre-op diet for the day before, but I have been doing it since Monday just to get used to it.

Nice to meet all of you!

I have had to do the three shakes a day and Clear liquids in between. On those days I felt really hungry I ate a few almonds. NUT said that was ok; just no carbs. Can't believe we are 4 days away!! I'm ready to get this done!

I'm the 13th too. So ready to get this over with. I only have liquids for 2 days before now just 1200 calories. But I'm hungry. It's worth it.

[friejenn 42]

I am having surgery October 13 too at 730 am. I am super excited and a bit nervous. I have been on a liver shrinking diet for 2 weeks. Only 700 calories a day, I am so hungry today!!! We can do this, just 2 more days

[stephh 634]

Less then 36 hours until surgery! I can't believe it! How's everyone doing?

[friejenn 42]

Tomorrow is our big day!!!! Did anyone have to lose a specific amount of wait prior to surgery?

[Marielbx 37]

Sadly, my insurance decided YESTERDAY that they need 3 more months of nutrition classes. I'm very upset, sad... So dissapointed because I've done EVERYTHING. I've been doing my liquid diet & all.

I gave myself Friday & Saturday to cry about it & although I'm still upset I'm staying to get over it.

My surgery has been rescheduled for January 19,15.

With that being said I want to wish ALL of you the best of luck tomorrow! Please keep me posted on your progress!
