Starting pre op diet

I'm confused as hell but I'm starting the pre op diet tomorrow. I'm nervous about a lunch meeting I hsve. Going to get soup and sip the broth and talk a lot. I think I'll be ok.

I had a bunch of medifast shakes. They are two grams below in protein than my nutritionist would prefer but they said they are ok. So I'll have those and do the best I can to get through the ten days.

They pushed the time of my surgery back so due to my kids schedule Ill be going alone and he won't be able to be there with me until after I wake up. I'm freaked out about that. I wish they hadn't moved it but perhaps its better. I have hospital anxiety a bit and maybe going it alone will make me stronger.

Well that's my update.

Spouses having surgery?

My husband wants to have the surgery now. I hope I get through it well and then he does. Anyone else have their spouses do it after then?

Approved!

Well I had the endoscopy last Thursday. Then Friday on the way to work I got into a minor car accident. Not a good day already. I emailed the program coordinator at my surgeons office and said I needed some good news. I've been so anxious to find out if my insurance would cover my surgery or if I'd have to wait six months.

Well she sent me good news a few hours later. I was approved!! Thank god. Now I've been reading and looking at videos and thinking of nothing but the surgery.

I'm so confused about the pre op and post op diets. I know I'll get it all from the doc and nutritionist soon but I'm interested in what others did.

Anyone willing to share?

So far they have been excellent. Kind. Honest. Detailed. And extremely non judgemental. And the office staff is amazing with the health insurance part.
