2 days till surgery!

[patsybrown 20]

Now I'm panicking. My surgery is in the morning. I have to be there at 6:00. But, I had no prep to do. I just can't eat after 12:00. I've been drinking Protein Shakes for a week, but no Clear Liquids or bowel prep. What if there is food in my stomach? Yuck?? Any suggestions for the night before? Good luck to all of my fellow April Sleevers!! I'll post a "Post-Op" message!

How is everyone? The day if surgery was pretty awful but today is sooo much better.

I didn't have to do a bowel prep either. With a clear liquid diet for 7 days there wasn't much to worry about.

I can't start liquids yet i did not pass my barium swallow. Nothing is going through my esophagus most likely due to swelling So I really nauseous and they will retest me today.

Oh no. I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be. My heart goes out to you.

Today I am doing a lot better, but my back is killing me. I can't figure out why that would be happening.

Also drinking things is weird.

Oh no. My heart goes out to you, that had got to be frustrating.

How is everyone else doing with their liquids? I hate the way it feels going downs so weird and gassy. They told me 1oz every 10 minutes. I'm drinking Isopure.

I think my painkiller just starting to kick in. My last massage was a mess and now I can't read my iPhone.

Later ????

How are you doing now? We're only 15 days out, can't decide if it feels like more or less than that. I think more.

I know some parts of the day I feel fine and it feels like surgery was months ago. Then i eat too much or try to walk too much and i remember it's only going on the 3rd week!

Today is my birthday and Saturday is my son's birthday so we went out to eat at a buffet. I actually feel good after eating there cause they had a lot of good i could eat. I had cottage cheese chicken broth bourbon chicken and even had a treat of sugar free pudding with whipped topping! When i talk about eating all that food it probably totaled 3 tbsp!

Usually in the evening i feel pretty bad nauseous and tired but tonight I'm feeling good. How about you?
