New to the board---surgery 1/9

Hello...  I'm new to the board and thought I'd say hi.  I'm making my way thru some of the old threads and am finding comfort in the fact that other people are going thru the same things that I am.  It helps calm the nerves

Elly,

Welcome to the board and yes, we are all sharing the same nervous excitement together.  Are you on liquid diet now? If so, how's that going?  I am on day 3 and doing fine. 

Please post often and let us know how you're doing.  I will add you to my thoughts and prayers.

Elly,
You're right, it does help to share  with others who truly understand our experiences, feelings, and emotions. Family and friends can be very supportive, but you never know how this feels unless you've been there! Just think, we're only beginning this journey... imagine what the next year will bring! All kinds of great things!!!! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Yay my surgery is on the same day !!!! GL to you.

Elly, itis nice to meet you. Welcome to the board. You are just a few days away. I will be praying for you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the encouragement!!!  Yes, I am on THE DREADED SHAKES ......three a day  plus one small meal for one week pre-op.  Day before surgey is clear liquid only and a 10oz bottle of Mag Citrate. 

Good luck to us all,
Elly
