Hello, my name is Tracey.
I had my surgery last week on the 29th. I am doing good, but today was the first day I actually got so frustrated with the liquids. I have 7 days left until I graduate to full fluids.... anyone else get frustrated and can you give me any tips or suggestions.
Thanks.... Tracey :)))))))

Hello,
I know exactly how you feel. I had my surgery last week and was so scared I was driving my friends and familly crazy. I was coming up with all these signs I was getting and wondering if I should go through with it. Right up to the point of being wheeled into the room I just asked my surgeon to please take care of me. I just wanted to wake up. That is all I told my family, I just want to wake up and know I survived and it is all over. I am happy to say, It turned out wonderful and I am so happy even now, just drinking only liquids and I am a bit frustrated that I am glad I did it!! I am looking forward to full fluids next Wednesday. :) You will be fine. The nurses at Guelph are wonderful, especially the night nurses!!! Take care :))))))))

Hello Sarah,
I just became a member on this today and saw your post. I just had my surgery last week on the 29th. Dr. Hong was my surgeon and she was just wonderful. I was scared going in and minutes before I went into the room, I just told her to please take care of me. She smiled and said everything would be fine and she was write. I am stil in the only clear liquid phase and today was the first day I got frustrated but it is slowly passing. That is why I got on internet to look for support. I am so looking forward to next Wednesday when I graduate to full fluids... Look out pudding here I come LOL. You will do great!!

To the point I have considered canceling but I know this is what I need, I need to be healthy for my kids, but I cannot help but be scared !
