Surgery Feb 18th

[JSteph 2]

Hi...I'm Jenn and I am having surgery on the 18th of this month. This has been a year long journey and I am do happy to finally be having the surgery! I'm a little nervous about the surgery. Anyone have any advice to help calm my nerves?

I start my 2 week clear liquid/ Protein shakes diet in 2 days. Any advice ftom anyone who has been through it?

I just got my approval and I'm having surgery on the 18th as well. This is my second attempt. My first surgery was cancelled the day before because of insurance issues. I'm excited that it's going to happen this time.

Hi MLP and Jen!

Just started the Clear liquid diet for the surgery. I'm nervous I'm going to be lethargic and get headaches.

Good luck! Thank goodness my pre-op is low carb:high Protein. All liquids would be too much for me to deal with.

I just need to get this over with because the waiting is torture. I probably won't be posting until Friday when I get back home.

How are you all feeling? I had a headache for 2 days in the beginning of the pre-op diet, but after that I have been fine.

I'm on the 19th.

My surgeon recommends 800 calories the week before and 700 the week of. It's been tough but knowing its worth it has made it easier.

Good luck!!
