I went looking for a broth recipe in the recipe section for ideas after surgery and found this:

Well tomorrow is my 1 week pre-op visit! Hopefully everything will still be a go!!! I've done just about everything I can but not sure if I have lost enough weight yet! I'm doing the 2 Protein Shakes a day & one meal for the last month. This next week will be 3 Protein Drinks. Still having some issues with headaches, but are better. Constipation is terrible, but getting some relief from Miralax. I think I better buy the large container of the stuff lol!!!! Somedays I'm feeling so confident of what I'm getting myself into, & other days the anxiety creeps in about surgery! All good though, have a great husband who has given me full support! I'm very blessed! And the support here is just wonderful, not feeling alone at all!!!!

@@Meganedh put the 22nd on our surgery list!

I'm on a 4 week pre op, first two weeks are 3-4 Protein Shakes and 1 high Protein, low carb meal. Then the next two weeks (last two before surgery) are 5-6 protein shakes per day. I also have unlimited SF Jello, SF Popsicle and broth.< /p>

@@covarrubia911 good luck see you on the other side. Let us know when you get a chance how it went.

Wow how many people are doing Inova Fair Oaks? I will try to give a report on how the hospital is as soon as I can after surgery. What they provide and anything I wish I had brought that I didn't. With mine being 6 October I think I am the earliest Inova Fair Oaks patient in October.

Had my pre opp appointment today and everything was great tomorrow is my last nutrition class where I find out if I need to be on a liquid diet. My surgeon says just a low calorie diet 1000 or less

Surgery got pushed from the 13 to the 15 so the countdown has begun ....... 14 days to go
