tomatogirl 0 Posted August 27, 2008 We had discussed "smashing pumpkins" because that emcompasses fall and halloween (and all things October), but I don't think we've set it in stone. :w00t: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izzyd 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Are you guys getting food etc together already for post surgery? I hate to wait until the last minute but it seems early. Guess I just want to do something to get ready. I am soooo ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimilou2004 13 Posted August 27, 2008 I haven't been to nutrition class yet so am not sure of the post op steps, but I have spent a couple of hundred dollars trying different Protein Drinks. The GenSoy I took back as disgusting and stinky!!!! I have bought the clear fruit flavored Isopures as I know that there is a week of Clear Liquids post op and I know we need Protein to heal.

swalesfcc 0 Posted August 27, 2008 My date is October 10th! I am very excited and a little nervous at the same time. I am self pay and will be having surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. Anyone else going to OCC the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomatogirl 0 Posted August 27, 2008 (this will be my 4th time typing this, let's see if I can actually post this) I've been putting off buying stuff until I went to the nutritionist, which was today. She brought me a bunch of literature and a card to be able to order off the children's menu. I'm going to go through it tonight and compare it to the lists here and get to shopping.

KatrinaD 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Just got the call, 10/7/08 for me. My daughter is devestated because it's a day after her birthday. I told her we can Celebrate it early, and she said its not the same . She'll be 13. Maybe that explains ita all. 9/22 I go to the pre-op class...and 9/23 start the liquid diet. Nice to see theres a few of us here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
