Topic: RE: My date has been changed
It really depends on your surgeon's preference. I dont have any specific diet to do before surgery. I was told two things, not to gain any weight and to stop using anti inflammatory drugs. Other than that, he told me to enjoy myself and try not to stress. You will have to wait and see what your nutrtionist says, but I would assume your surgeon wouldve told you that you needed to do a liquid diet ahead of time.
Topic: T Minus 5 Days and Counting
April 10th is only 5 days away. I didnt have enough time to get nervous so now I am just anxious. Well I guess I am nervous, a little paranoid I should say. I want this so badly, I want to know what life is like as a normal or average sized individual. My prayers go out to all embarking on this journey with me. Good Luck!
