I am new here! I have scheduled my surgery for June 27-2018 I am not sure what time yet but I am ready. I start my pre op diet in less than a week, I am more nervous about the liquid diet three days before surgery than almost anything cause I know I will be starving!!! The puree diet has me a little worried too LOL. Anyways I hope this is a good support system for the different stages. I gotta go take care of kids they are in my kitchen with no supervision it could be scary LOL!

Welcome and congrats! Not going to lie - the preop liquid diet is worse than the postop liquid diet. Try to find a hobby to keep your mind off the dreaded liquid diet. Do some crafts with the kiddos - painting or something, take walks or naps if you have to.

Good luck!

Congrats! The Pre-op sucks... *BUT* it's a great prep for post-op! Get used it things being tough, they will continue to be for a little while, but trust in that it's 100% worth it!

Good Luck and Stay Strong!
