klo319 7 Posted August 12, 2015 My process went really quick since I have a small window to make this happen. I am excited for results, but nervous for the recovery part. With 2 kids at home I hope to heal quick. Luckily I have good support and help. Anyone have issues in social situations? I have a family party 10 days post op... Just nervous about getting through it. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn306 50 Posted August 12, 2015 Hi @@klo319, I have my surgery tomorrow too! Plus I am flying down to Tijuana tomorrow too, and surgery is same day. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there are no airplane delays, cuz timing is really tight. How have you found your pre-op diet? I was told to have only liquids for 3 days prior to surgery. I did full liquids the first day, then have been doing Clear Liquids today and will do same tomorrow. I find that I'm not all that hungry, so I think a social situation wouldn't be any problem. Stick to what you are allowed - by then you should be allowed full liquids, or maybe even soft mushy food. Take with you what you will need, like a couple of tea bags, a bottle of apple juice, whatever you like. Maybe some yogurt cups, or make yourself a Protein shake to take with you. Hopefully you won't be tempted to eat, since that would likely put you in pain, and you might be sick. You don't want that at a family gathering! Well, good luck! Where are you having yours done?
