2 more days of treading water, then surgery day!

I am so ready for Thursday to get here. I remember thinking this liquid diet was going to be the hardest thing in the world, and it just isnt. I am finding it so much easier than I expected. I really think my stomach has shrunk over the 2 weeks, although I have actually been at this for closer to 4, wanted to get used to liquids early on. I am not even really nervous, just READY. Trying to plan for the time Im away from home, Im gonna miss my kids and man so much, I will see them of course, but Im such a homebody, lol. Im a weenie, I guess. :)   Im ready though. I am hoping that the remainder of my journey goes like this part has, not half as bad as expected, but I am prepared for whatever happens. Anyone else getting real close? Its exciting!

You sound so   wonderful!!!  Wont belong  before you will be on the  losers bench with us.  Take care!!!

I too am amazed at this process. I think you'll find that your positive attitude and preparation will go a long way to making the next week or so fly by.
You are two weeks behind me. I've been most surprised about not being hungry. It's very strange.

You sound VERY ready!  Congrats and good luck!  Keep us posted!

thanks ladies. Yes, how are you feeling? Hows the pain situation? I am psyched!

The pain situation is great!  I stayed on top of the pain in the hospital -used the prescription pain meds BEFORE the pain got bad.  It's kind of like taking something for a headache at the first twinges rather than waiting until it's a splitting one.  I only used 2 or 3 doses of the presription stuff at home and then switched to liquid Tylenol.  I'm down to about 1 dose a day.  I've worked up to 30 minutes of continuous walking plus lots of little bits during the day.

thanks for being so willing to share with me. It helps a lot. Oh....how long till you can shower after the surgery? Im so hoping right away?

Shower the next day if you want to . . .

You do sound ready.  It wasnt' as bad as I was prepared for and I'm a little over 3 weeks out.  I was able to shower the next day.  Pain wasn't bad, was off meds by the third day home and then just used them for sleep.  Keep us posted!!
You will be over on the other side with us soon!!
