3 days to go

Three days and counting.  Surgery is scheduled for Monday, April 19 at 1:45pm.  Great time by the way cuz I am not a morning person at all and I would rather be in a good mood before wheeling into the OR.  The downside of that is I will be hungry after clear liquids only the day before and nothing after midnite.  LAWD help me.

The liquid diet has been difficult but I have maintained under the 1200 calories to that's a plus.  Nothing really will compare to the new life that's ahead and that's my motivation:-) 

Thanks for the encouragement all and looking forward to talking with you postop!.
Have a great day on purpose!

Congrats, I'm one day behind you, my surgery is on the 20th and I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM.  I'll be fine, but my husband is defintely NOT a morning person... not sure why that makes me grin, but it does. 

Best of luck !!  I've been on a full liquid diet since April 7th, my doctor is very strict about that... but I'm dealing with it very well.  Sugar free popcycles are your friend !!

Congrats to you to Kim!.  I felt bad because hubby will be in the waiting area by himself for those 2 hrs.  But he can manage:-)  I will miss being able to see my daughter for those 3 days...but it will all be worth it when it's over.

I've become a fan of the popcycles too but I rather something I can chew:-)  Good luck and much prayers to you on the 20th!

Hi everyone. My surgery is the 19th as well. I am so anxious good and bad, excited, and so ready to get on wiht it!
Good luck to you. Liquid diet has been rough the last 2 days but i think that is to be expected and my Dr is very strict about it to so i will keep at it but i really cannot wait to have something more savoryI cannot take any more yogurt or pudding jello, BLAH! I know this is all worth the end result! See you on the losers bench

My surgery is the 19th as well.  I have to bee at the hospital at 6am and we live about 1 hour from the hospital so we will leave out at 5 am.

My liquid diet has SUCKED!!!!  Everyone told me after 3 days it gets better.  BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!  I could eat the hose down but I know I cannot cheat at all.  As far as being sick of jello pudding....wish I could have some.  Protein shakes 3x a day, thin soup/broth, jello and SF Popsicles.  That's it.  OH and vitamins, 4x a day.  I look forward to those because I get to chew it!  LOL.  Hope everyone does great on their upcoming events and look forward to seeing "less" of everyone!
