Surgery in 10 Hours... Cant Sleep... Worried About Liquid Diet
Surgery is scheduled for 11AM, tomorrow AM and I cant sleep. Ironically, I'm not nervous or even anxious about the surgery, I'm worried that the surgeon will cancel it because I didnt follow the 2 week liquid diet he demanded. It's my own fault and I'm beating myself up for it. I've completely researched the post op diet and thought I was ready for it but now I'm questioning myself since I cant even follow the 2 pre-op week liquid diet.
Mine is scheduled for today also. I consider myself lucky in that my surgeon didn't require the pre-op liquid diet. I'm sure that the post op liquid diet will be so much easier than the pre-op simply because it's a HAVE too or surgery again. I'm looking forward to 2 oz of ensure plus filling me up for my meals. I have all my protein powder, dry milk and instant breakfasts waiting for me. I know I'm going to miss chewing for these couple weeks but what's a couple weeks in the long view.
So don't beat yourself up or second guess everything. The surgeon has faith in you, you should too. I know you can do it.
Don't worry hon. If he does cancel, it is only a delay not a denial. You will be surprised what you can do if you only set your mind to it and refuse to budge. We are all phenominal women capable of more greatness than we realize. Keep us posted on how you do. I will be going in on Monday for my surgery. I will keep you in my prayers tomorrow.
