My date is coming up!
My surgery date is next Friday, January 15th and I am getting very excited. I am midway through my two weeks of liquids and at least I am not as grumpy as I was Monday. I am really hungry at times but I keep thinking that this is my diet for the next month anyway, so might as well go with it! I am amazed that I can function with no "real" food, just 70 grams min of protein and other liquids.
Tomorrow I have my chest xray, last labs and another ekg. Next Tues is the cross type and match for my blood. Wed I go on clear liquids and protein (I am coveting my cream soups now!) then...surgery!

Hi !!! Congrats on your date! Its the friday before mines on the 18th. I will be starting the clear liquid diet on the 14th. I have my bowel prep prescription for the day before. I am getting nervous about everything, but I am also very very happy to be able to start the new year with a new life. Best wishes to you on a Successful surgery! ~Lacey
