Hi everyone,

I'm awaiting a surgery date and doing the pre-op diet. No so easy but i'm sure happy to be in this place. I have waited so long for this and even changed jobs to one I don't really like but had the right insurance to cover the surgery. Just wondering if anyone else got kinda blue on the post op diet? Does it get easier?:wink_smile:

I feel the same way about this new job i've been at for the last few months. I'm glad to be working in a time when unemployment is so high. But I need the better insurance to get my surgery. Thats what keeps my holding on.

I have to tell you the hardest part is the pre-op diet and the first month after surgery. The liquid diet is very hard after two weeks. Some doctors require 3-4 weeks of liquid. After the mushie stage I found it so much better. Now 4 1/2 months out food isn't really a big deal anymore. I still eat pretty much what I did before only alot less and I am fuller for hours longer. Good luck to you.

Hi ATL38, yes i know what you mean about the job scene, so I can't complain too much. The good news for me is my old job wants me back asap so I probably will resign after the surgery and go back to my other position. I feel kinda guilty doing that and my intention wasn't to do that I actually have tried to like the new job but I don't. Well good luck on your surgery date and this dreadful preop diet

Thanks Sueaz that makes me feel so much better. I was so weak and felt fuzzy in my head for the first week. Now I'm at day 10 and it seems to be getting a little better. It helps to hear it from someone who's been there though
