I’ve been already cutting out foods and starting to prepare myself mentally for this. I don’t think anyone can fully prepare until it’s right on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carla Ogwin 91 Posted May 17, 2023 You are absolutely right the only thing about this is that liquid diet thing. Can I handle this for 2 weeks prior to surgery that's why I'm getting started, but yeah I've cut out a whole heck of a lot of things preparing for this, breads, pastas none of that I eat, not even soda, and then dealing with it after surgery I wish I can stay in the hospital for a week after surgery at least that way I know things will be done right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
