Do you mean the liquid diet or pre-op as in the day of surgery? I had a hysterectomy a year ago in April. I was petrified of going under anesthesia. After I woke up which seemed like only minutes, and it was all over I couldn't believe it. There was no reason to be so nervous. Are you having laporscopic? I have never gone a whole week on liquids, so this should be very interesting.

Well I wish you the best of luck, and let's keep in touch. We can go through this process together. Happy PreOp Diet!!

Truly,
Dawn

Topic: RE: Pre op diet

My pre op diet has been a bit different...2 weeks of 3-4 protein shakes and 1 meal a day (didn't matter which meal but only 1 sensble one). Then 2 weeks of full liquid...I start the full liquid next week. I think the pre-op diet varies per surgeon and patient.

Topic: May 22nd for ME!!!

I have my final Pre-Op Friday then 18 more days and in I go for surgery, thankfully my surgery is the 1st one in the morning!!!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!
