Finally - A surgery date!

The last time I blogged was in mid-July right after I found out I had an ulcer and had to cancel my August 4th surgery. Well, I am now ulcer free, have an October 27th surgery date and am on day 4 of the pre-surgery liquid diet. I have to say I am really hating this part of this process. I dread when I have to make one of those shakes. I am feeling okay, but a little tired. I know I have to hang in there because it will all be worth it eventually. Any advice from those of you that have gone through the two week liquid diet would be greatly appreciated.

Wish I was having mine that soon. I just started the process this Wednesday, went for blood work, ekg and chest x-ray today. I talked to the co-ordinator when I gor home and they have set my surgery for Nov. 30th!! The doctor is on vacation the last week of this month and first week of November so this is the earliest I could get. I've been telling everyone today that it may give me enough time to chicken out because I've been hearing so many horror stories lately and getting really nervous!! I'm so scared that I won't be able to eat anything afterwards and I don't think I can handle that. One girl told me today that her sister had it and she can barely get anything down at all. OMG that is so scary. I thought I had Psyched myself up for this, but one day I desperately want to do it and the next I don't. Does anyone feel this way or am I the only one?

Anyway, congrats on your date and I didn't mean to rattle on so long. Let us know how you do.
