I have just a little over 2 weeks left myself..... feeling nervous and anxious! Almost got everything on my list.... it's weird but the thing I dread the most is the i.v, I have tiny, deep, rolling veins it takes forever to get a line going and I feel like a pin cushion by the time they finally get it going.

You and me both.little more than 2 weeks left. Anxious, happy, excited, nervous. No rolling veins, but they tend to collapse, and I have a tape allergy that everyone from the doctors down to the nurses seem to ignore. Maybe I'll tattoo it to my forehead!

How is everyone's pre-op going. I a mid way through day 1. 14 to go! Not too bad YET. I have to say I am full after lunch. My liquid homemade chicken and vegetable Soup. I could only eat a few bites of Jello. Next shake at 3. I am not even close to Water goal. 18oz to go this round and then another 24 oz. I will try to get more water in after my soup digest.

You know I've read & seems like everyone does a liquid diet pre-op but I don't have to...I just have to do low fat.. I don't meet with my dr until the 27th
