In fear that I may sound whiny..I'm totally drained from this liquid pre-op. I'm not able to focus at work and my stomach growls so loud that people sitting across the meeting room ask if I'm okay. I'm halfway there, but I notice my arthritis is really hurting me this week. Anyone else experience the same?

Being on the two-week preop diet gives you license to whine, you don't need to apologize for it around here.

How much Protein are you getting in each day and are you drinking your Water?

Can't speak for the arthritis but I'm hoping someone will chime in that can.

Oh honey, I'm so worried about my arthritis too! I take 400 to 800 mg's of motrin every single day but I will have to stop taking it 10 days prior to surgery & I just don't know how I'll survive the pain. I can barely walk or even use my fingers without the ibuprofen meds. I have arthritis in my feet, back & hands. No fun. I hope it goes by quickly for you!

I'm drinking lots of water! I have a 20oz and I drink three at work and another in the evening. It's weird because I don't really take meds for my pain usually, it just seems to be flaring up.

I'll be honest. I wish I had taken a few days off this week because I can't even stand how serious I've been and to call me a B word would be polite.

Not sure if you are taking any vitamins yet...but you may want to start your B vitamins now for added engery and brain sharpness...

Yes I have arthritis in my hip and it's been bothering me too... But I also lost 14 pounds in nine days and. I still have five more to go... So be strong and then once your In the hospital they will give you Some good meds for the pain that will hopefully help your arthritis too:)

I grew faint very fast on per op hang in there you can do it.
