Topic: RE: Surgery...Update
Hey .....you get veggies at dinner??????????????? All I can have is 6 protein Instant Carnation Breakfast drinks for the whole day. I can supplement with water, jello, and broth. But that's all I can have. I am starving. I got a little dizzy today. And a little (ok a lot) cranky last night. I need just a bite of something. But only a few more days to go. This is only my 3rd day on it. I would really die if I had to do it for 2 weeks. But no I don't have to do any exercises. And it's a good thing because after work I am so tired. I just want to sleep. Whew...you have an early surgery. I wouldn't mind if mine was that early. Get it done and over with. I'm just really dreading any pain. I don't do well with pain. And I hate the feeling when you wake up after surgery and your not sure where you are and then the pain comes and you remember. Just bring on the pain meds. God Luck with all Pam! Can't wait to see you on the other side.

Hi Charlotte,
I know what you mean. I have been on this liquid diet for a week now. I have been drinking slim fast shakes for 2 meals and eating 4 OZ of protein and veggies at dinner. I think I get up and pee every hour. Don't sleep well because I am always getting up. I have lost 20 lbs. this week. The only thing I can't gewt inwto is the exercise I am supposed to be doing. I am too weak. Almost passed out twice. Are you supposed to do it too? 20 min. of cardio and flexiblity and strengthening exercises. I didn't do that when I was feeling well.
I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. ready for surgery at 7:30. The first one!
Well, I wish you all the luck in the world!

Topic: Surgery...Update
The doctor's office called today to reschedule my time. I am still having surgery on Feb. 5th but instead of having to be there at 11:00 and my surgery at 1:30. Now I have to be there at 8:00 and the surgery is at 10:30. That is actually better for me, because this way I won't be able to sit around and get freaked out about the whole thing. I'm 6 days out and 2 days in on this liquid diet. I'm starving!!!!! I'm hoping things will get better after tomorrow. Everyone has said after the third day it's not so bad. Well right now it sucks! But I just have to keep the big picture in mind. I think what I hate most about this liquid diet is I have to go pee every 5 mintues. Oh yeah and I better lose weight this week too. This really stinks! Here's to everyone that's going through the same thing. Cheers!
Good Luck and God Bless everybody!!!!!!!!

Topic: Last Education Class
We had our last education class where we got to meet patients from 6mo to 22mo out. It was great. They talked about the good, bad and ugly....Can you say GAS!!!Some suggested we get a dog and blame it on him!!! LOL!
Anyway 9 days to go and it is all real now.I plan on shopping on Sunday to tie up all my loose ends and get food for the kids so everyone is home in their PJ's relaxing when I get home with no worries.
Good Luck to all
