July 5th Surgery Date
Hi all!
I just found this board and realized I fit in perfect cause Im a June date as well!!!
I am very nervous, yet very excited. I go for all my pre-surgical testing on Thurseday! 13 days until Im on the loosing side~! :-D
What is everyone doing to prepare for surgery? Any good ideas for what to put on a food shopping list to prepare for after surgery? What to bring to the hospital? Whats the low down with the protein shakes? Which ones actually taste good?
As everyone can tell I am open to all suggestions and ideas.
How is everyone else doing?
Best Wishes,
Kaitlyn
I'm really confused about what you wrote.
Your topic says July 5th, but you post and say June in your first line? Then you also said that you ahve 12 days til surgery?
Um.... Was that supposed to be the 25th?
Either way, your shopping list will be determined by what your surgeon wants you to do postop. Some people are put on clear liquids postop, some are on full liquids and others are eating a little bit of everything. You'll need to find out exactly what your surgeon wants and then I can help you with a list. (For what I'm eating a week post op, you can read my website which i on my profile). I've also talked about that on my webpage too - I brought way too much and didn't use most of it. For protein shakes, you'll need to get samples at your local gnc, or similiar place. Some are nasty, some are decent and it will be totally for your tastebuds to decide! Ones that people recommended to me, I don't like and vice versa. You really have to try them. Your tastes can change post op but mine don't seem to have really.
