Got my surgery date

Got my date it's Dec 18th.. So much for eating the last thing over the fence on christmas.. ( the turkey tail ) Any good tips for when I get home.. I think I have everything I need, Small dishes, Small glasses, Vitamins and protien drink, Liquid foods of course.. Mostly chicken broth and protien drinks and crystal light and water..

Congrats on your date! Mine is also 12/18. I also thought about oh well I won't be able to enjoy all the insane food that comes with xmas and new years. But I've had a lifetime of that. I am super nervous. It's all happening so fast, I hope I have time to prepare. But good luck to you.

I'm nervouse too. I thought it was gonna take longer cause I was denied because of my first phsyc evaluation, But got my 2nd just a couple of weeks later and next ting I new I had my surgery date and now it's only a few days away.. My preop is Tues and then Sat and sun clear liquids and Monday is the day.. It has come up quick.. Thats for the congrats, Thanks again David

Congratulations! My date is the 18th also. Have you had your pre op appointment yet? I just had mine, liquid diet for two weeks, but everything else ok, ready to go. Best of Luck to you! Bridget

Yes I got it yesterday.. I have an appt with my doctor and my pre-op with the hospital on Tues.. I'm supposed to start clear liquids 2 days before surgery..Thanks for the congrats.. Chat soon David

Congrats on your date !! I also got sum sf popcicles, ff cream of soups ( have to strain it ), herbal teas, and fruit 2 O is wonderful and of course the sf jello !! If you get the unflavored protein, you can add it to your soups, and crystal light. I was suppose to have mine on Nov 29th but had to postpone till Dec 21st because of a cold ....So I've been ready for awhile now Keepn you in my prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Huggs & Blessings, Lori

Congrats! You'll already be on your way when I get wheeled in the next day
