5 DAYS TO GO!!!
Hi, Debra. I'm having surgery on Monday as well. Are you feeling nervous? I'm very apprehensive. I guess that's to be expected.
I am going for my pre op tomorrow; labs, testing, receiving the spirometer, nutritionist appoint, seeing the surgeon again, and getting the presciptions that I'll need for after surgery so that they can be filled ahead of time.
I had to start a pre op diet this past Monday of eating light. Then Sat and Sun I do a liquid diet; SF jello, SF popsicles, broth. Yummy! I'm going to get the 2 net carb Slim Fast drinks. What about you? Is your surgeon recommending protein drinks? If so, which are you planning on using?
Good to talk to you.

P.S. Best wishes on the surgery if you don't get a chance to respond.
Hi Kim
I do have the same feelings. I go for my pre-op tomorrow also just blood work i do believe but you never know. I was told last month to loose 10 lbs and i have 1 lb to go i have to way in tomorrow at my surgeons office so it needs to come off today.I was told to start all my vitamins and protein at the last office visit so i have been on all those since then. Sunday i just have to be on a clear liquid deit. I buy the straight protein from my dr. I wish you well and will say pray for you we can make this journey together keep in thouch.
