Topic: RE: Just had surgey,, on clear fulids, need some tips.....

Yeah, stayig with my folks threw me off my game! I had everything planned at the house for clear liquids but had to stay with my folks so it's already started the mental game of "real food". But hopefully the next day or two, I'll get back in the zone. No, I've not slipped, but I did catch myself reaching for a peppermint! I tossed it at mom and told her to eat it or toss it. They just have food laying everywhere. Four types of cereals on the fridge, two fridges full of food, soda, crackers, etc. tough! But i'm determined. I do NOT want to screw anything up with my sutures nor do I want to affect my progress!!

Hope everyone is well! I hope to have my Laptop up and running by this evening so I can respond appropriately!

Love to all!

Tracey, I totallly understand since I had bypass surgery in 2001. I am scheduled for revision on Monday, Sept 10. Keep your chin up.....sip slow. Try using a sippie cup or water bottle with sippie cup type spout. Eat popsicles and that will likely satisfy you more than just drinking...sugar free of course. Just think about the outcome you are going to have and it will be well worth it all. Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress.

I wish you a lot of luck. Keep me posted. I most likely won't have my computer at the hospital but will check on you when I get home.
