The start of the process is the hardest part; you got this! It is worth it in the end.

Hi. Congrats on getting to your surgery date! Is your pre-op diet full liquid? Man, that first day is the WORST. Actually the first 2 or 3 days are hard. After that you get a routine. My program gave me meal replacements. If yours didn't, I hope you can at least incorporate some textures, like high protein pudding/yogurt/soup. Eating something with a spoon kept me sane. I'm sure you'll do great!
Life is tough. We are all fighting the battle. In every fight, there are times when we get hit in the nose, but we have to pick ourselves up and brush off the dust and move on. The pre-op period is over soon, then the liquid phase then the . . . . Some are easier than others, but you are at the start of the best phase of your life. You are reclaiming your future , and the rough times are the price you pay for the great times ahead.

Hey I just had my surgery on the 6th. That 2 week diet prior to my surgery was hard but i promise the day it comes to your surgery it will have been worth it. My surgery went great my surgeon said he had no complications, and that i will have a great recovery. I hope your surgery goes well please keep us updated.
I'm not sure if your program is the same as mine, but I was allowed to have 2-3 protein shakes a day. I looked forward to them every day and it really got me through. Premier Protein Banana & Cream is one of the best shakes I've ever had. The Strawberries & Cream is pretty good as well. I didn't like Cookies & Cream though. The shakes almost tastes like you're cheating, but you aren't. I did the 2 day liquid diet and by the time I got there, I wasn't really hungry. I do wish I had taken in more water those last two days because the day of my surgery, they had a hard time finding my vein probably because I didn't drink enough water. My surgery date was July 9th & I'm so excited to be going into Phase 2 tomorrow. You got this

Welcome! Congratulations on your new life journey! I'll be right at 6 months post-op when you have your surgery! I'm truly enjoying life and all of the changes this journey is giving me! Getting through the pre-op diet is so very worth it. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!
