WOW!

I have been here reading and supporting others who have gone before me and had the surgery. I can believe its almost my turn! I leave for San Diego on Sunday and should be going into surgery on Monday morning. I emailed Trish so I can find out more details about when I should go NPO for surgery. My plan was to do the liquid Protein diet up until Sunday and then stop everything around 8 or 9 pm for surgery. I hope that is going to work! I also went shopping for some things for post op...I got my post op outfits which consists of loose cotton knee legnth shorts and capris, loose tank shirts and a zip up cotton sweat shirt for the plane ride. I plan on bringing a small pillow for the post op moving around as well. I got my rob and slippers and two pajama two piece sets for the hotel. I purchased two thermals thanks to Heather T who suggested it for warm broths. I plan on using one for tea and one for broth. I am going to pick up tea for bloating and for healing to assist my body bouce back. Am I missing anything?? I probably am since Im writing this down from the top of my head. I would love any feed back from recent sleevers who can assist with this. Thanks!

It looks like you have it all lined up. Sending good vibes your way and remember..... sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, and walk some more.

Thanks! I appreciate it!!

Sounds like you've got what you need. I really didn't eat a lot when I was there that I prepared myself. It was either ice chips in hospital or I had broth or chamomile tea at the hotel restaurant. I did drink some gatorade and things like that. I am excited for you!! Let me know if you have any specific questions. Can't wait to hear your story when you get back!!

Your plan for presurgery food/drink wise should be just fine. I stopped having anything the Sunday before I went too and then just had Water on the plane and more water while I waited for my surgery.

Thank you Griselda! I went out yesterday and changed out my new loose fitting shorts and capris for even bigger sizes just for comfort. I picked up the liquid vitamins and meltable tablets of b12 and biotin. I still need to get the gas x and the calcium citrate which is harder to find than anticipated. I need to compare the stregnth of the chewable gas x compared to the strips. I also hope my organic tea and cat claw holistic drops help with imflamation.

I am also on the 18th!! Here's the list of all of us July sleevers http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/20339-july-master-list/

We should keep in touch and keep track of each other's progress! I am getting so nervous!! lol

We have a sleever there right now that should be going into surgery any minute! Readytolive. They brought her food last night and told her that there no reason to be on a liquid diet! We were both shocked! I'm having my surgery locally, and my surgeon has had me on preop liquids since last Thursday! Just another 2 days for me, then I'll be on the losers bench!!!

I would suggest the gasex meltable and a laptop/ipad or book to help you pass the time. I will be sending good vibes for you. take care
