Sammy you'll do fine! I think it feels scarier then it has to be. Besides, you won't remember a thing! (Ok, that part's a little strange..) Right now I just feel like someone punched me in the stomach. But that's probably because I haven't been doing my breathing exercises enough. The big incision is still sore, but the other two are just a little itchy. Other then that, life is almost back to normal. I still can't hold my kids for too long because I feel weak, but I suspect that has something to do with the painkillers, which I guess I should start weaning myself off of.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, they make me do 1 week of full liquids (baby food, creamy strained soups, pudding, etc) then they make you do clear liquids the day before and 3 days post-op, then you do 10 days of full liquids, 2 weeks of mushies, and finally, actual food. I can't wait!

I had to do full liquids for 1 week and tomorrow I'm on clear liquids. AHHHH!!!!!!!!! I think I'm more nervous about that then the actual surgery.

Thanks!!! I'm SO excited! I feel like I'm about to have another baby! LOL! How are you doing? Are you on the preop liquid diet yet?
