10 Days Away From Surgery!

By exeznohz123

· 596 views

So today was a very long and tiring day at work (EMS). I realized today how bad my joints hurt at only 21 :(. Getting in and out of the ambulance my knees just ache. This should not be happening this young....ugh cant wait until that disappears!

 

On another note, I am only 10 days away from surgery (singing the final countdown), I cannot wait. Everyday it gets closer the anticipation increases! Most people are asking if Im nervous but I dont feel anything except excitement.

 

Im off this weekend so Im planning to go shopping for all my liquid diet food (I guess thats what youd call it). Anyone have any great ideas? I will be returning to work a week post surgery and I need travel friendly items. Also trying to avoid dairy during the day since I am outside and dont think dairy + heat = a good equation.

 

Thanks for all the support. I love this site!!

    I'm 5 days post op (Realize band with one incision and hiatal hernia repair). You will def. be ready to go back to work in a week. Keep up with your shakes pre and post op. Also, some unflavored protein powder that you can mix into homemade freezer pops or soups, or add to Gatorade, etc. Also, I discovered that Lipton makes great Cream of Chicken soup in handy individual packets. Just make sure you strain it. You can eat this from day 2 on. Good luck!
