Hi my name is Desiree, and my surgery date is march 16. Mix of feeling between FEAR AND EXCITEMENT.

I'm super worry about the 2 weeks preop diet

My surgery is march 3!! I'm meeting with the surgeon to sign final consents tmw. And he will probably tell me to start the liquid diet. I'm scared of that too! But it's gonna be worth it

I hope everyone's surgery is successful and that we all come out okay.

Cause I am legit terrified lol

Congratulations to my fellow March surgery pals! My date is Mar. 3. I started the pre-op diet yesterday. So far I am doing well. I had pre-op testing with nothing to eat or drink until a little past noon yesterday. The upper GI was last, so maybe the barium drink had me feeling full, but I wasn't really hungry last night. So far today I am doing fine. I can have 4 Meal Replacement drinks, or three drinks and 1 high Protein Protein Bar each day. I can have sugar free Jello and popsicles, but not red ones. I can have broth, and the flavored non calorie Water. So far I had one Popsicle. They say the first 4-5 days are the hardest. i had my mind set on the pre-op diet before I started it, and started replacing a meal or two each day with the Protein Drinks so it wouldn't be so hard.

Best wishes for success to you all!

Just dropping in to say hi and wish you all the best. I was my surgeons last Feburary surgery on the 27 th. It's actually going easier than I thought. I had a cough and cold so that made things interesting.
