Waiting....

Hey guyys! 

So, as we know.. my surgery is scheduled for July 6th.  I am very very anxious, and get even more so when I come to this forum! I love it, reading the good information on here, while at the same time SO ready for that day to come.  On the 23rd, I go for my pre-op appointment with Dr. Scott and then will commence my liquid diet... until then, what should I do?  Did you guys do some sort of special routine before you started your liquids, or your pre-op diet, or did you just go all out and get some things out of your system? 

I really wouldnt do too much before going to see the doc... if you are still drinking soda I would work on cutting it out and definately up your water intake - this should help with any 'detox' your body will go thru when you are on the liquids diet. A lot of people (myself included) go crazy the week or two before doing any liquid diet eating everything and anything because you feel you 'wont' be able to anymore and you want to say 'goodbye' but its really not the case... as time passes post-op you can choose to eat foods again and/or find healthy alternatives to 'bad' things you loved pre-op - best would be to avoid the all out pig-out before you liquids :-)
