three hours to go im packed and ready to go like a fat kid going to camp. Scared as heck but just as excited. I have had surgery before multiple times but for some reason i keep thinking what if this doesnt work. Then the other side of my brain says how cant it work. With so many ppl that have succes why would i be different. Last night i had a nightmare i woke up with a half eaten pickle in my hand and was chewing it, i screamed THE SURGERY AHHHHHHHH must be the hunger pangs. Well folks thanks for your support and answers to my questions. Today's measurments 6'5 402 lets see what the future brings.

Yes I liked Dr.Harberg too. My husband pcked up a liquid multvitamen fron GNC but the centrum may be cheaper maybe I will try it next time.I made some tea with splenda to help me with my water intake, the cough seemed a little better today. I start on soft foods Wednesday, I have been drinking from a sippie cup, is that what you used in the beginning? I feel pretty good my incision is still sore and I feel a little sore inside but I guess that will pass with time.

I was instructed to give my self an enema before surgery. do i have to? Is this the norm i havent eaten since 4 am monday morning and surgery is tuesday at 130 just finished drinking the nitrate whatever. any help would be appreciated in this.

SHARON. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ANY ONE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. I HOPE YOU HAD A SPECIAL DAY. MAY THERE BE MANY MORE. LOVE GLORIA MOLAKE -89 PS THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE!!!!

Congratulations to you! Your surgery was the day before my birthday. I didn't have an NG tube (that I know of) I use a children's chewable vitamin. Check with your surgeon to see what he recommends for you. Make sure that you get enough fluids in. You do not want to get dehydrated. It's a struggle trying to figure out how/what/when to eat. It takes some time and is mostly a learn by error kind of system. Good luck to you as you journey to health! Best Regards Sharon -119#
