I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Me too Danni' date=' I'm so over this liquid diet! Put me under already ! Ha[/quote']

lol when is your surgery date?

What's the colon cleanse that you guys are doing? Bottles of magnesium citrate?

That is what I had to do. It upset my belly drinking it and took 3 hours to kick in and then....up to surgery morning I was still going lmao

T-12 hours before my surgery. Excited and nervousness at the same time. Had my "last supper" now finishing packing for my night in the hospital. Any last minute tips? Wish me luck

Jasayles good luck to you I go on the 19th

My surgery is on the 19th at 2pm. I cant believe its so close. Im anxious, excited and extremely calm at the same time. Crazy, right? Im in NY and having procedure done by dr vohra.

Bandman I know exactly how you feel. My surgery is on the 19th also and I am feeling like you do. Heck I am so off today thinking about Tuesday I painted one of the small bedrooms in my home. I wish I could sleep right now.

My surgery is on the 19th too! I've been freaking out all weekend. I'm starting my 24 hour liquid fast, and I'm starving. I guess this is when the mental strength needs to kick in, because I really have no idea when I'm going to have any nourishment in my stomach again. And I'm suddenly scared of everything. I keep imagining how scared I'll be when they give me the anesthesia, and I'm so scared of pain and nausea when I wake up. I think I need that sedative NOW!

I was banded on the 14th and had a 7 day liquid diet. I went through the same anxiety and fears. I came very close to completely calling it all off. I think my emotional roller coaster was worse the week before than it has been after. Luckily my husband was there and helped talk me off the ledge. Just remember you deserve to be healthy and if you could do it on your own you would have done it already. You are worth it!!!! Good luck and you have all of us here for support.
