No, if your pre-op diet is clear liquids. It is only liquids you can see thru.

Carol--
I have no clue whats going on with that, but Im glad it was only a day and not any longer! When Debi called me to tell me my date she said they had 1 time available Jan 28th and that the dr would be out on vacation so if i didnt take that i have to wait till March!! I almost wanted to wait, just out of the comfort of everything...but Im glad i didnt!! I cant imagine waiting that long!! :D

We will be waiting right along with you!!

Hey Carol,

You look great!  Glad it worked!  It was hard for me to find pics, because I always take them, not wanting to be in pictures!  Maybe that will change?

Topic: Waiting!
I got a call from Debi today and have to wait one more day for my surgery.  Now I'll be having it on Feb. 11th.  I'm not exactly what the reason is but she mentioned something about the "other doctor" having a conflict or something and needing to move my surgery to one day later.  It's okay because they aren't telling me it'll be another week or month or something.  It will work out okay and I know that being flexible is a good thing.

Just thought I'd let you all know......................so you can wait with me one more day. 

Carol

As you can see, I'm no longer a question mark!  The picture is not the best one of me, but who in the heck has a good fat picture???

Thanks for your help, Kristi!

Topic: RE: Nerves and Jitters!!
Aw-rightie now, here's my two cents worth.............but with the economy the way it is now, maybe I should say my 1-1/2 cents worth. 

I am glad you are telling us that you are feeling that way because I am too and my surgery is a ways away.  Someone once told me that fear is "False Emotion Appearing Real" and it makes sense right now.  When people say things about the problems they are having, that's when my fears kick in and I know that we are all different and may not have the problems that others have, but it still makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing.  You are absolutely right.............this is the right choice for you (me too) and you are going to be fine.  God knows that and He is watching over you and will be with you through this whole journey.  UIHC has a good reputation and as long as you do what they tell you to do, you'll be absolutely fine.  

Vent to us any time about whatever because chances are, someone out here is feeling, tihinking, wondering or dealing with the same thing.  I'm here for you and hope you keep venting and posting. 

Hang in there and hugs to you!

Judi and Michelle~
Thanks for the boost!! I especially needed that kick in the butt!! Like i said before, Im feeling a lot better about it today (and yesterday) than I was on Sunday evening...not exactly sure what was going on there?! LOL!!
I was thinking today that I need to measure so I have something to compare too...even if I dont throughout this process at least I would have something for when all is said and done!

The liquid diet pretty much sucks! I cant find any broth that taste good! i started using baby spoons so that I am in the habit of taking small bites (regular silverware is just too much of a temptaion for large bites for me) and it took me over a half hour to eat my yogurt tonight...granted I was talking to my kids and listening to my ipod and stuff too...

Any suggestions on other things I can/should eat? Nothing sounds good about pureed meat!! can we have babyfood at all?? Wasnt sure!?

Time to get the kids to bed, and Biggest Loser is on tonight!!
