...with Hurricane Sandy on its way...Yikes!

I received my phone call on Friday to be at the hospital on Monday at 8:30am. However, there's still a possibility that it will be postponed. I've been on my 2-week liquid diet, doing good with that. I am eager to have the surgery but I do not live close to the hospital and it would be a challenge (especially for my family) if the weather gets too bad. I'm hoping for the best. I'm having my surgery in a hospital located in a low lying area which the mayor actually closed last year because of hurticane Irene.

I hope all of you on the east coast are doing ok! Sorry to hear about the surges being delayed but thank goodness you're all safe!

Thank You!

Hey y'all, I was rescheduled for Friday....do any of you have new dates?

Great! No, my hospital is still closed

waiting patiently...

Hang in there Mari!

Thank You!

Had mine Friday. Feeling pretty good. When does the bloating go down?

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Are you home already?

Yes I got home yesterday. Start full liquids tomorrow. Really tired but already off pain meds except at night!

Wow, that's great. I'm usually tired now too I was told I could eat light but I haven't been so hungry I have my moments though where I crave carbs. It's my daughter's birthday Wednesday. I wonder if I could treat myself for just one meal. I'd like to take her out. I have to ask the nutritionist since I could be called in soon. I hope I don't get called in for Wednesday!

OMG that is my question, LOL. I'm fine except for the gas and bloating. Was even hard to get my sips in, but that is going better now. Time, I guess!

How are you feeling?

Don't they let you take Gas X or something? I read someone packed that With them on their way to the hospital. I assume they asked the doctor first. Why don't you ask? Maybe it'll give you some relief. If I talk to my doctor I'll ask too. Hope you ladies feel better soon!

Today I woke up and the gas is much better. Just drank a whole muscle milk and about 8 oz of water in two hours.
