Hello-well I guess I have to start somewhere

I have been following this site for a month or so.  I am on my pre-op diet and have my surgery date 3/19/13.

Welcome!  I've been here for a few months.  my surgery date is 3/19/13 also!  there is lots of good advice and inspiration here. I'm also from WA. 

Great sounds like we will be on the same timeline.  Are you on  a pre-op diet?  I am on day 5 of 14.  Not much fun will be worth it.  I can have 3 protein drinks and a lean cusine.  I am getting really hungry but trying to keep busy.

Yes, I'm on day 4 of a 14 day of pre-op fast.  I can have broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello and protein shake (up to five shakes).  that's it. 

Days 1&2 were "easy" but yesterday (day3) was rough....not gonna lie I did snag 3 tator tots and a bite of peas.  today is going much better again.  I just try to stay busy and not think about how am I gonna manage this for the next 10 days....

Wow sounds like you have it harder than me.  I find myself walking the dogs a lot and cleaning house to keep busy.  The 19th will be here before you know it.

Good to both of you 

Welcome! Prayers going your way for your surgery!
