Just packed my bag for the hospital. I have to be at the hospital at 8am, so glad that it is so early. This clear liquid diet is a killer and I was afraid I would be waiting around till the afternoon. I was really nervous but I just got off the phone with a friend that I don't see very often, she said "the next time we get together you'll be a skinny Minnie" .... Just the thought of that being a possibility made me very excited!! Still so glad I found this forum a few Weeks ago, I,have learned so much and knew exactly what to put in my hospital bag!!

Good luck and may you have a speedy recovery.

Sending positive energy your way!

Good luck and God bless. I can't wait until it is my turn to be where you are at. Please keep us posted.

I'm NOT looking forward to clear liquid day on Sunday. Looking for things to do to keep me busy!

Good luck tomorrow, I know you'll do great!

Congratulations!! That was me a week ago and every day is getting better and better. Sending you lots of lovely healing vibes from Australia. So exciting!! Keep us posted.

Hate to spoil it for you but postop is clear fluids aswell... Atleast mine is um on day 3 postop... Come on mushie stage lol

Waiting for you on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

Thanks everyone!!! I'm hoping the clear fluids post op is a little easier and I am not completely famished. Someone on here posted that after surgery she had to wait 33 hours after surgery before even getting a sip of water due to a delay in her leak test. So, I am preparing myself for the worst but hoping for the best =)

Good luck!

I too had to wait to have any liquids. Ask for ice and swabs, but don't drink it! Once you get through the dry mouth....swabbing often..... It's tolerable. Msome places have flavored swabs, my hospital did not or did not give them to me
