down to 8 days and EXCITTTTED...............

I want to wake up and have it here already

It felt like it would never get here, didn't it? I wish you the best of everything! I have 14 days to go, and I am excited,too! My prayers are for your quick recovery and for every success. Take care of YOU--Congratulations!

5 more days for me. I'm ready! September 10th here I come.

How that liquid diet going? You are one day into it right? I start mine tomorrow so cheers!

No liquid diet here. Regular diet nothng after midnight the night before. I have been thinking about doing it for at least 24 hours before.

Wow, I have the 7 day and then 24 hours of clear before surgery. I guess he wants our liver to shrink and our bowels to be clear. What a dirty job they have but I'm glad they do it. I'll be cheering for ya

hi all I'm Chundra and i have my surgery on 9-27-07. Any pointers

Hi Chundra, only advise is to do exactly what your doctor tells you to. I'm giving that advise as I sit here on my liquid diet feeling as though I will starve to death. I'm thinking though that this may be the last time I feel hungry from what everyone says I should feel full after surgery! My surgery is Sept 6, just 2 days away!

Hi Chundra, Mawee nailed it right on the head! Listen to your doctor and be prepared by asking questions. The time will go by fast even though I want it here tomorrow. I was just approved weeks ago so the time has gone quickly. Start drinking water and Sugar free drinks or just liquids so you know what you will like and will not like. I bought some soup broths to try out and I liked them all but one so I know not to stock that post op. Right now it is a mental preparation. Good Luck

Gee Mawee, I am officially on the liquid diet. What was the hardest part considering you have made it this far I say you have done it. I think I will miss the chewing. Have you noticed any changes or do you feel different?
