Kym Preslar 21 Posted November 23, 2015 I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 9th but I'm supposed to start my 14 day liquid diet on Thanksgiving. Anyone else starting that day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted November 23, 2015 No, I'm starting the Monday after, for surgery on Dec 14. You can do this! Sip your Protein Shake (or whatever your pre op plan is) and enjoy the company of your loved ones! Thankful for our new, healthy lives!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kym Preslar 21 Posted November 23, 2015 LOL! Rough is right but I will be with my family so I guess I can sip my shake while they eat. Can I spike my shake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark1733 224 Posted November 23, 2015 I'd say yes but I am sure your surgeon would say otherwise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kym Preslar 21 Posted November 23, 2015 Probably right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kym Preslar 21 Posted November 27, 2015 Had my pre op appt. on Nov. 25th and my Dr. said I could start my liquid diet today. So yay, I had thanksgiving yesterday. Today and until my surgery it's liquids only. Going to be hard but so worth it in the end. Shits about to get real! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kym Preslar 21 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi TxStella, did you start your liquid diet today too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted November 27, 2015 I start pre op Monday. Sadly, I did have some food funerals yesterday and today. But, looking forward to tackling my new life very soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeselife 68 Posted November 27, 2015 Mine is December 9th too. I've tried to avoid food funerals (food is my abusive but persuasive ex!) but it's been tough. My surgeon said a full liquid diet isn't necessary, but is a good chance to find liquid Protein that I like, and gets me into appropriate habits. I've been allowing myself one small meal a day. We don't have family locally so yesterday wasn't too tough, just a nice turkey dinner! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TxStella 17 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Hi Kym! No my doctor only has us do 3 days preop 2 shakes and a healthy meal. Are you nervous? I read these posts like everyday just trying to see what to expect. I would love to go thru this journey with you!!
