I am suppose to do a bowel prep 24 hours before surgery, can I still drink clear liquids while doing this? If not, I will not make it to surgery, for I will have starved to death!!! haha

I can sympathize and would be glad to share horror stories. I know sometimes it helps to know you are not alone in your misery. I just recently began to stop regretting although every time I have to go in for an esophagus stretching or I throw up because once again my stomach is not accepting anything but liquids I still ask myself why I did it. Then I remember that I wanted to get healthy and being obese and gaining on a regular basis was not going to get me there. I am still trying to convince my boss that I am ready to be back at work even though I have been back for over a month and I work all day and then some. Sometimes I do too much just trying to prove that all is well. I come home exhausted and veg in my recliner. Hubby will be so happy when I can get back in our bed. 6 months of no sleeping companion after 30 years of having one is hard to get used to. Anyway, I wish her well and my prayers are surrounding her. 1% seems like such a low number until YOU are that 1%!
