EastEnd, Carerjem, good luck on the 6th! I'm going to be thinking of both of you when I have a few moments of lucidity tomorrow and sending you lots of good vibes

Less than 12 hours now, counting down!

Spot, my friend, have a fantastic flight, I hope you eat tons of seafood tomorrow and have a safe and worry free night. I will absolutely be sending you mental hugs and encouragement!

Peace Out!

Thinking of you Carlene! Wishing you good healing!

April 15th for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's nerves I'm feeling but rather an anxious excitement. I think tomorrow will be worse until I land in Denver. Once there, I'll be preoccupied with new surroundings. Plus, I hear there's a Joe's Crab Shack near my hotel and I've always wanted to eat there and Seafood is a-okay with my pre-op diet.

Now how I'm going to get to sleep that night, I don't know.

Spot -- Good luck with the surgery! I'm dying that you get Joe's! My Fave! Somehow my Protein shake doesn't sound too good right now. Let us know when you get home.

Thankyou for all the support

Wishing those that had a speedy recovery Brenda and Carlene

Endend and me starting over tomorrow. To new beginnings

Quite calm now probably exhaustion

Will keep you posted on how it went

Take care

Spot your tomorrow too

I hope you enjoyed your seafood

All the best and keep in touch

Woodlass , I hope your over the worst and wishing you a speedy

Weight loss and recovery

Take care

Jem

Less than 12 hours to go! Have to be at the hospital @ 7:30 tomorrow morning...

I'm dreading starting the day without coffee....such an odd thing to be worried about.....

I'll check in once I'm out! Good luck everyone!

Hey Thanks! I am Saundra and my preop diet began April 2nd. My surgery date is April 12th. I am following the diet although at times I get the urge to bite someone's arm. I am hungry or just so use to chewing on something.

I had my pre-op appointment today. I told him I knew who he had operated on today, Woodslass (her real first name though, lol) and he didn't flinch or anything, so I'm guessing she made it through just fine, lol.

Good luck tomorrow, everybody! Surgery at 9am mountain time for me

This is my first post, and tomorrow is my surgery I am so nervous and excited! I have lost 15 pounds over the last month. I started my all liquid diet today... which is ok... for now til I have to go home and cook dinner for the family... lol...

Well it's day 2 and I'm still alive....sore as hell though! Surgery went just fine except my liver was still very swollen. Dr. K told my husband that it wasn't my fault, he thinks I probably should have started the pre-op diet earlier. But everything went smoothly.

I only had gas pains through last night, now they seem to be gone (keeping fingers crossed) and the only soreness is my stomach. I sleep about 3 hours, wake up for an hour, go back to sleep for a few hours. I did try drinking some chicken broth yesterday and promptly threw it up (which was not fun) so I'm sticking with juices and Water and popsicles for now.

Spot is in surgery as we speak, I hope everything is goin fine for her! Also for CarerJem and EastEnd. Good luck, I'm thinkng about you all!

I have been going through a whole range of emotions in the last couple of days. But I have to have faith that all will be well. (Ake care I will keep u postedm
