i have to do a 2 week liquid. i am drreading it too. but i did do a practice round a few weeks ago so i know i can handle it. i am also allowed to eat fruits with my diet so i can get that chewing sensation. thanks doc!!
i live 2 hours away from our hospital so i dont know if he is going to be running back and forth if i forgot something. i know he'll go there each day but if i forgot something and he forgets to grab it, then i know he wont go back. he might stay at some family we havethat are only 45 minutes away. not sure yet.

Mine is the day after yours! Do you have to do any type of pre-op liquid diet or anything. That is going to be hard before the surgery. I can't wait. Are you excited or what?

I sure do with mine would get moved up. I asked them to consider me if they have any cancellations but we have to do a 10 day liquid diet. My surgery isn't until February 21st but I know it will be here before I know it. Congrats on moving over to the losers bench!

You don't need to take a whole lot to the hospital. You can always have your husband bring you anything you need. I plan to wear something VERY comfortable and since I will only be wearing it for an hour (I am the first surgery of the day...5 am hospital visit) I plan to wear it home too. As for gowns, with IV's catheters and such it's easier to just wear the hospital gowns. They have them in big sizes so I'm not concerned about exposing myself. I may make up a little bag for my husband to leave in the car until I get in a room with things like my toothbrush, shampoo, brush, deoderant, etc. Just the necessities. My surgery is a week after yours. I am dreading the 10 day liquid diet.

Hey everybody! So last Friday I was told that I would not be scheduled until April at the earliest. Well, on Monday they called me and said they had a cancellation and could *do me* on February 5th! I had to go in and get all of my pre-op stuff handled yesterday, and now have 6 days to prepare. I feel so overwhelmed and I am just like

Hello everyone, i am getting so nervous. i have 2 weeks to go. i am going to start my liquid diet this weekend. i just keep counting down the days. i cant beleive it is coming so soon. i am soooo excited!! i just got out my binder full of papers that the hospital gave me. and i read everything in it. i made a list of the vitamins and suppliments that i need to take after.
oh you know what i didnt see in those papers? i didnt see a list of the things i am supposed to take to the hospital with me. i think i am going to post this on the main board too, to see if i can get a list from other people. i just know i will forget something if i dont have a list.
so how is every one feeling? we are all february surgeries so we are all coming up soon here. anyone want to comment?

i heard that after the fourth day it gets easier. also if you are doing in one week earlier then you have to do it, why dont you try adding an apple or banana each day and gradually go down, ie an apple today, 3/4 apple tomorrow, 1/2 the next day. that can help get you through the first few days.
i am actually allowed to have one peice of fruit a day on my liquid diet pre-op.

Thanx, I've forgotten about the vitamins, it seems to be getting easier just cant wait to have the surgery and put it all behind me.
