2 Weeks till surgery!!
Hello all,
At this time 2 weeks from now I will be preparing for surgery. I can't believe it. While as nervous as I am about having surgery I am just as excited. Right now I am on Day 3 of my pre op shake diet and not eating food has been so hard, but so far so good. This is just the beginning and I know there is a long road ahead, but i am excited for the summer and how different my life will be.
The pre-op diet may suck while doing it for 2 whole weeks, but it prepares you for after surgery.
Just getting by on the shakes and liquids for the post op 10 days. Who knew they weren't trying to torture us with no food before surgery, but it works. Just wait and see.
Good luck to you in your journey.
You'll do great.

Awesome, how exciting for you! The first 5 days of the liquid pre-op are hell because your body goes through major carb withdrawal but it does get easier. You'll do great in surgery. Please keep us posted and ask all the questions you need answered, there are no dumb questions. :)
Exciting time and Good Luck on the start of the journey!
