This is my official surgery week. I have been on a liquid diet for 5 days now. At first i was ready to eat my arm off but suprisingly after like 3 days ive been fine and not even really hungry. Anyone else on a liquid diet pre-surgery can plz share with me how they are getting along :).

Hello Pookie! I'm so excited for you, when is your official date? I know the pre op diet is really hard but I have to agree with you, after a few days when I tried to sip broth I found that I felt bloated. I just concentrated on getting my protein shakes down. Are you allowed to have them pre op? My surgery was yesterday and everything went to well, I'm sure yours will be a breeze as well, and I'll be praying for you and keeping my fingers crossed.  It's the first day of a whole new you!

Keep us posted and if you need to chat feel free to drop me a msg!
Hugs

Sorry, I thought my surgery date was posted ....lol. It is on Tuesday the 11th,so only2 days away. I dont know if anyone has had this problem.....I have PCOS and I get my periods once every 2 months, but for some reason I just got it today, and my last one was 3 weeks ago. Soooooo now Ill have my period during the surgery. Sorry if its to much info, but I was just wondering If anyone had the same problem. I called my Doctor and she said that it wont be a problem, but uhhhhh why now :(.

maybe your body is cycling into a more natural pace or maybe it is just stress. good luck on the 11th. see you on the loser's bench. vick
