Im here

Sorry I havent been on the boards in a while.  dont know what came over me.  I dont have a excuse but please please forgive me.

I am doing ok.  Surgery next week on wed.  at 12:15pm  I have to be at the hospital at 10am.  I have started my pre op 1000 calorie diet.  I am now on day 3 and have lost 4 lbs.  I am eating lean cuisine meals 2 x's daily and protein shakes 2 x's daily.  With lots of water and 0 calorie drinks.

I am excited and nervous and doing alot of wondering.
But that is about what is going on right now.  

Hugs and Love

Being nervous is normal Marcy. Remember, we are here to support each other. Come back often to post, share, ask questions.
Remember to pack lip balm, slip on slippers and a pillow to pad the seat belt for the way home.

I had the hardest time reaching my feet to put on those hospital booties for the frequent walks. Do get up every couple of hours while awake to stroll in the hallways. This time next week, you will be on the losing side of surgery. Hugs

Hi Marcy,

I had my surgery two days ago, on Monday.  I am feeling ok.   And I think you will be too very soon - the reduced diet was helpful looking back now, because I was able to be ready for eating so little now - and I don't truly crave anything...
I know you will do great - because ifI was able to do it and come home and my husband is still being loving and taking care of me - anyone can do this.
You are in my prayers, Marcy.
Good luck,
Jeannie
