getting ready

Well now that I have my date I am encountering a problem I didn't expect.  My family are all trying to feed me one more "last meal"  I am pushing myself to lose some weight before the surgery since my Dr doesn't require it, and they are all wanting to make sure I am not missing out on anything.  ugh... I think I had more than enough "last meals"  I am just trying to not visit during meal times and focus on what I have to do.

What are some last minute obstacles you all are facing?  I

know I have the fear that many people have about going under the anesthesia, my mom and grandfather have had very bad reactions to one kind so I am going to mention that one when I meet with the anesthesiologist.  Probably better to play it safe.  

I have been so busy with work lately I haven't put in much time for myself to do the things I need to do before this surgery I am looking forward to the time off so I can really focus on me for once.  

Well my surgeon required a 14 day liquid diet before surgery I start that on the 11th of May for my surgery on the 25th.  There should be a something in the middle rather than nothing or 14 days.

Anyway best wishes on your upcoming surgery.

Sandy  at least  for Mothers DAY you can enjoy a normal meal !
That will be a GOOD last real meal for me!  5-13-09 Is my date.

I having my surgery on the 12th.  My family isn't as bad about trying to feed me as I am!  I am having some serious cravings for all of these things that I love.   Im trying to remain calm and leave these bad foods alone!  Right now my thoughts are on a bowl of homemade salsa and some chips!  LOL!  I may end up making that though....thats better than a pizza I guess!

I go for my preop next week....but I don't think that I have to start the liquids until the 1st or 2nd. 


Anyway, good luck with your surgery!  There are several of us with these May dates to keep each other motivated!
