Tomorrow is my big day!

Well.. after 6 months of waiting and 2 weeks of a liquid diet... tomorrow is my day!
Boy am I nervous!  but I have to keep thinking about the good things that will happen to me.

I am mainly nervous about the possibility of being a "puker", but from what my dr. tells me it's all a matter of compliance to the program (or mostly!).

I am prepared as I can be.. I think.  I have bought a food scale, liquid measuring cup (by the ounce) and containers that hold 2.5oz.

I have all my vitamins and plenty of protein.

I have to be at the hospital at 6 am tomorrow morning with surgery at 7:30.

 

I just wanted to wish you all the best. You're in for the ride of a lifetime and boy is it worth it!  Just keep your "eye on the prize" and you do well.  This group is a great place to come to when you're a little down; it's great place to come when you're up too!

Good luck and let us know how you are doing ASAP.

Here for you Ledaizey, you will do splendidly.  Just wanting to let you know not everyone throws up.  I have had 1 time since surgery that I threw up.  I had mine 6.5 months ago and the episode had to do with a carrot of all things, I don't think I chewed the first raw carrot well enough. 

Enjoy your day, be up moving as you are able to after surgery.  Come share your story with us after you are awake and functioning.  Hugs

(((LeDaizey)))    YEAYYYYYY for you... I remember when you felt like this day was never going to come! Now here it is right on tp of you! You are going to do awesome!

The only time i vomitted was right after surgery when i had a lot of nausea. They medicated me right away and it stopped. I had a few bouts of nausea right after surgery, so if you feel the slightest hint of it, let the know so they can medicate you for it. The other time i got sick, was when i took a pain pill after being home. It just did NOT sit well at all! After that I only took tylenol..lol.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a quick and uneventful recovery, and can't wait to hear from you when you are able to update us!
walk sip rest...If water does not sit well (it didn't with me the first couple of weeks) try sugar free popsicles. They saved me! And the cold felt sooo good on my irritated throat. Crystal light sat well too when it wanted to.

Sounds like you are as prepared as you can be! 

I'll be praying for and thinking of you!  Oh, and scooting over to make you a space on the loser's bench! 

Take care!

I had surgery March 10 and am doing well, wishing you all the best. Just remember to take care of yourself and give your body time to recover.

 Wishing you the very best!!!  My prayers are with you.  This is it.  Congratulations!!!!
