I feel crummy as I sit here eating a peanut butter raisin bread sandwich....

I began my 10 day liquid preop diet on Feb 19 with surgery scheduled tomorrow Feb 28.

The good patient I am, I precooked and stocked up for the family, shopped for all the pre/post surgical things I need, strictly followed the diet instructions and then..... on Saturday.... got a teeny little sore throat. I tried to will it away, drinking extra fluids and summonsing the angels for health protection to no avail.

I AM SICK.

I have a sore throat and an upper respiratory infection of some sort (cough, sniff, sneeze).

I called the surgery center today and my surgery has been rescheduled to March 20.

Bummer Bummer Bummer!

I had soooo mentally prepared for surgery tomorrow.

oh that sucks! I thought I was going to have to post-pone mine back in January too, sound like because of the same type of illness. Fortunately, I was quite a bit through it and my doc said they'd be giving me antibiotics anyway in my IV...so he went ahead with it.

I know its gotta be discouraging. Keep the faith. You can go do this again!!!

I also had to post pone my surgery but had it soon after better safe than sorry.

Sorry to hear about your delay, especially since you started the pre op diet and have to start again. That was the hardest part of this whole thing for me.

Had surgery Feb 3rd and was also worried about getting something since a lot of stuff is going around this time of year. Good luck, March 20 will come fast.

My surgery is March 20th too, It was rescheduled due to some projects at the office. I needed to be clear minded going into this, so I chose to have it moved. Keep you eye on the prize (as it were)....three weeks will fly!
