I'm less than 48 hours from surgery now, and somehow it still doesn't seem real! I honestly don't think I'll believe it until I wake up from anesthesia and it's been done.

This morning, I took the magnesium citrate and started clear fluids. Nothing to eat today or tomorrow, nothing to drink after midnight tomorrow night. I'll be at the hospital at 6:30 am Monday and surgery is at 8:30!

I already got my prescriptions filled for liquid Roxicet and Axid, bought some liquid tylenol, Powerade zero, fruit juice (to be diluted) and have made 16 4 oz. containers of sugar free Jello. I'll probably make more jello just so I don't have to worry about it later. I have my bag mostly packed, but only with essentials. I've got instant beef and chicken broth on hand, as well as decaf tea and sugar free drink mixes. Somehow, I feel like I'm forgetting something!

I'm a student, and classes start back up on Tuesday. I've already let my professors know that I'm having surgery so hopefully that'll be okay. Babysitters are lined up. I'm ready to go but still a bit nervous.

Any last minute advice?

Congrats. Your list really helped me. I am 7 days away!

Ill be right behind you at 11:00 am Monday. See ya on the other side. It sounds like you have things pretty well covered.

Press on with your good self! Mine is in April, most likely, and your post is very helpful! I'll be just like you---believing it when it's over! God Speed to you!

I'm right behind you, ready for surgery on Tuesday. After all of the testing and preparations, it is hard to believe that surgery is almost here. I had my tasty magnesium citrate this morning and am counting the hours til Tuesday. Maybe I'll see you at the hospital ...Best wishes to you.
