Had my preop appointment today! All systems go for Aug 22!

It seems more real now than ever! Have to go do my preadmissions tomorrow and then I just sit back and wait. My last meal will be on Wednesday the 16th. Then Thursday begins my liquid diet and the big "clean out." What kind of preop diet (if any) is everyone else having to do? Betty

My preop diet of liquids starts 8-10-06 one week of protein shakes, and thats all the cleaning I have to do! This is also to help shrink my fatty liver. I just ate my last meal for a while. the nerves are starting to set in, but this too shall pass. Kelly

Kelly, I'll be thinking about you. Good luck with your week of protein shakes. I hope you don't find it too hard and stressful. Yep, this is the final countdown for you. Makes it seem that much more real when you have that last meal and begin the fluids! I wish you well. Betty

Thanks Betty, I will be thinking of you and you will be in my praryers as well. This is getting more real by the moment. I hope I don't get cold feet. Kelly
