Tmi but I'm afraid my period will be going for surgery. Will they cancel it??? Praying no.

They shouldn't. I'm an RN and work on a post-surgical floor. We've had a decent amount of women on their period after surgery. Of course their's is due to a cancer diagnosis so it may be different, but I don't see an issue. I'll be close to mine as well.

Omg me too! (I don't want to tell anyone bc I don't want them to cancel it!) it took too long to get the date and the time off work... (Just one more thing to worry about)!

I must be the onky weirdo tgat loves Protein shakes and drinks them all the time. They are great for hair growth.

When I wake up in the morning, i start my pre-op. It is only 10 days and i can do 10 days standing on my head. I am worried about the lower energy at first since i have so many errands to run pre-op. I also have hair, nails, a pedicure I need to fit in over the next 10 days.

Nope, not weird!! I love drinking Protein Shakes too. I drink them for Breakfast even if I'm not currently "dieting" - I like the taste and they are fast. I'm a "do I sleep 10 more minutes or make a Breakfast? " kind of person. :-)

I nervous about my tastes changing after surgery. Some people have said they drank them pre-op, but couldn't stand the taste post op!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
