    Default Having my surgery this coming Tuesday, the 17th of Feb.!

    Hi my name is Tina, and I am having surgery very soon, I was able to get my surgery date sooner than planned due to someone else's cancel, so I have started my pre-op liquid diet on Monday and now it's Friday, so I've been without any real food for 5 days now! So far so good, although I have been pretty cranky, but at least the starving feeling has passed. I live in Southern California and I am 47 years old, married for 25 years in April, and I have two grown daughters and a 2 year old grandson (the main reason I have finally decided to go through with this procedure!) Looking forward to everyones advice and I am a little nervous but really excited too! Thank you!

    My surgery is Wednesday the 18th. I've been on the pre-op liquid diet for 3 days now and its been...interesting. I'm great all morning but by afternoon I get really tired and cranky. Its definitely a strange experience not eating. So I definitely am feeling you!! lol

    Good luck on your upcoming surgery and I hope you update us! Take care!

    Welcome and congrats on making the decision to make yourself healthy! You won't regret it. I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post op, and right now I can tell you that you'll look back and thank yourself and God for going through with it. I honestly believe it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. For me, the hardest part was the liquid diet pre-op. Post-op you're really not hungry much. I'm in the pureed phase and trying to find my balance in eating slow enough to not get too full too quickly and yet keeping my food warm!

    Good luck!!

    It really is interesting, isn't it? I am finding myself getting mad over the tiniest little things...and it's so hard when you have a family to feed! I finally told mine that they are on their own for now, it's too torturous! Thank you for the nice welcome and good luck with your surgery as well!

    Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I have seriously been questioning my decision, because I am really missing food! Lol It's not that I actually feel very hungry now after 4 days on the liquid diet, but I just want to taste something good! I am adjusting though, every day is getting a little better. I am glad to hear that it is worth it! Thank you again!
