My surgery is the 26th and I start a 5 day Clear Liquids with 3 days of protien shakes allowed. Sat & Sunday are "bowel prep" with no protien. I have my Preop on Wed and it is the same day as my 1st day of preop diet. I guess it will keep me too busy to care about eating? Especially since I will spend about 3 hours in the car that day going back and forth. The nerves have arrived today. I am trying to stay busy and distracted. The hubby and I are cleaning the house top to bottom and I am painting some projects for Christmas. I have never had ANY type of surgery before except my wisdom teeth so I think that is what is getting to me. In the meantime I have a knotted ball the size of a bowling ball in my gut from anxiety. The surgical process has been so easy for me to get through it is rediculous. I had my 1st appointment Oct 25th but I had already done all my bloodwork, xrays, and psych. I went to Nutrition on Oct 28th or so. I went to preop class and was submitted on 10/29 and approved on Nov 2nd. I already know my surgery is at 935 am on Nov 26th. Maybe I am just waiting for something to go wrong since it was so easy? I know that losing 5 lbs for me is a struggle so I can't even picture losing more than that. Or my nerves might just be shot? The only problem I have had is finding ways to make the protien taste better and finding one I can stand. I finally did that...What is my problem????

Omg!!! I did it. I had surgery today at noon. I expected the worst and cried some before it because I was so nervous. Right now at 11pm is the most I have been alert and awake. I have been sleeping like crazy and a few hours ago I had some juice and broth which went down ok especially cuz I was hungry and dry throat. I also toke a short walk which was hard because I am super dizzy. The pain was bad at first but has gotten easier and is tolerable. I'm a big baby and for me I was surprised the pain is not bad. Nothing that the meds could not fix. I no longer am scared and I feel good and don't regret this!! Thank God. Now I am finally excited!!! :) Wishing everyone the best.........

Glad you are doing fine.

To all those getting ready for surgery as a day four post op patient and nurse stay on top of your pain and walk even when you don't want to. When you walk don't hunch put your shoulders back it hurts but stretch out those abs it only gets harder later! When you wake up if you are like me I immediately had regrets the pain was so bad for about ten minutes then after that its been super great no gas pains or anything but walking and sitting in the chair is key.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
