Oh my gosh!!!!!!!! That's awesome news. How are you feeling about it?
also what was your timeline? I had my initial consult on Nov 27 and am having a video conference with the nutritionist and Diane tomorrow. Just curious (and impatient!!). Lol
You are likely finished your surgery! So excited for you. Please post your progress

I bought some puree baby food, particularly Turkey and beef. It wasn't as bad as I thought and it was the right consistency. I worried my home food wouldn't be and that I would hurt my new stomach! Also cream soups that you like and consommé soups. Also picked up the protein powder that the dieticians recommended. I added that to my cream soups and yops. I just didn't like the flavour with the meat broths. Yops were good. They don't have lumps so can be drunk in the mixed liquids stage. I could do about one third at a time in the beginning.

Good luck! Hope you have an easy surgery and post op in the hospital! Soon you'll be on the other side and starting your new life!
There will be lots of room for you on the bench:) thank you:)With surgery less than a week away I am trying to get myself (and my family) organized for when I am in the hospital and my first week or so home. Any tips / suggestions / recipe ideas for those first few days? Any "must haves" for the pantry?
Best of luck! Will be thinking of you. Save room for me on the losers bench! I'll be there in less than a week!
Just got in Bathurst heading to the Pavilion for the night, registration is at 6 am and surgery is at 8 am!!! I can't believe it! I'm so overwhelmed! I have lost about 15 lbs on my two week preop diet. My new life begins in 14 hours! Everyone waiting! It's a tough two weeks but I'll tell you the last 6 days were not hard at all. I'll keep you posted!! Here's to being healthy!
I am in the same boat as Ellie....signed my papers Sept 19/14 and am waiting for the call! I am terrified of not being able to get through the 2 week diet....but I know if I don't do it I will regret it for the rest of my life. And I sure as hell don't want to stay like this and die early...so bring it on! And for all you guys doing it...be proud of yourself...be strong and know it's all worth it!
