How Do I Breathe?!

The hospital just bumped my surgery from Wednesday to first thing Monday morning which means I start my liquid diet tomorrow! Ack! I'm not ready! My house isn't clean, I haven't done my grocery shopping, I don't even have the stuff I need for surgery. Crap! I'm scared out of my mind. My BP was 179/107 at the doctor today after they told me! That's NEVER happened to me before!

It will allllll be okay, and clean your house a little everyday, no need to exhaust yourself the first day of the liquid diet!! Congrats on the bump up in dates!

Thanks ;) I did swing by GNC after my dr and got a couple bottles of Isopure (not good, but not as bad as I had thought) and stopped at Walmart to get a couple of things on my list. I'm going back with my mom later and she's going to take me to t last big meal. Whew. One step at a time, breathing helps ;)

How exciting! My story was just the opposite! I had everything clean and ready. My bag was packed, made 14 meals to feed my family including thanksgiving dinner, child care was all arranged I had done a cleanse and then...day before surgery I got a call that my surgoun had an emergency and it was reascheduled! I was suppose to be sleeved the 15th and now it's the 23rd. I had to re adjust everything, but it's still worth it and readjusting to sooner than later is fantastically exciting at least. It's Bette then more waiting!!! Lol. I hope everything goes well!!! :)

I can empathize. My surgery date has been changed three times, twice by the surgeon.

Aggg! That's so tough! It takes to much planning to get ready for. In my situation we don't have family where we live and I have two Elementry age kids and my hospital won't let me bring anything with me. Which means I need someone to bring it to me and I would like to have a little help if I need it. I understand things happen but three times!! That's got to be very frustrating! Here's hoping mine goes through this week! :)
