Just 10 more days!!!!

I'm getting so psyched! I've done my labs, ekg, endoscopy, met with the nutritionist, had my chest x-ray....Tuesday I have my arterial blood gasses and pulmonary function test....Thursday I have my final pre-op appt! I have to say it was funny getting the endoscopy. Just before they started, the doctor put his fingers in my mouth like he was gonna put that camera in there while I was awake...I said "ho! whoa! I'm awake here..I don't wanna see this stuff" The nurse said, "I'll fix that....do you feel anything yet?" I said "no"....and I woke up in recovery. I love it when it happens like that. I bought all of my vitamins & supplements. I've started taking them and cutting back what I eat. The only thing I don't have yet is my iron. I could not find iron chewables anywhere! I had to order online. I will have them tuesday or wednesday this week. I tried the Unjury chocolate...I like it. I ordered chocolate, vanilla and unflavored. I bought some protein pudding and some isopure liquid and some isopure mango/peach mix. I bought a variety so I would have plenty of choices and hopefully I won't get incredibly sick of them. I tried crushing calcium citrate tablets and mixing it with a little water to get it down... I need some advice with this. I have an awful lot of these tablets. Is there any reason why I can't cru**** and add it to my protein shake? In the meantime, I bought a liquid form of calcium, I'll try that tomorrow. I'm feeling so ready. I'm nervous about the pureed food....I will experiment with that this week too. Any advice in this department would be VERY appreciated. Oh, and one more thing.... AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Just 10 more days!! Pam

You are on the way to a success Pam. You seem like you are very ready for this and have everything you will need for after the surgery to be a success. Yeah some of those tests are fun we have to do. I was in the hospital with scheduled appointments for this surgery from 6am to 3:30pm it was a great long day.hehe but well worth it. For pureed foods I just went and bought some baby food and refried beans since im not really up for putting anything in the blender. And since at least I know my dr says protein protein protein this was the best way i could find with out having to put things in the blender. Wahoo to your surgery only 14 more days for me Jess
