Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

Thanks for asking' date=' Mel! I'm really doing very well. I was able to stop taking my pain meds yesterday. I still have a tiny amount of abdominal discomfort, but it's very manageable. I am struggling with the clear liquid diet though. I am so sick of broth!!! And I have another week to go on clears unfortunately. I have no trouble drinking my 64 oz. daily though.[/quote']

I'm having a easier time getting that fluid down on post op day 4.

The cath came out after the first day and they just took the I'VE out. I feel good, no pain today. I've never had any surgery before and I have to say I don't remember anything! I've been eating the jello, drinking herbal tea and lots of water. They are trying to keep me hydrated.

Ready to go home!

Good luck with yours. I'm still at the hospital but hope to go home today

Good luck everyone that's having it today!!!

Good luck to everyone getting done.

I just started my diet today and my diet is just like sparklette...at least its not completely liquid.

Praying for everyone who's having their surgery today and this week!

Just started my 2 week liquid diet...yum-o...lol. Good luck to everyone having surgery today!

Hey guys I am fairly new here start my pre op diet nothing but protein meal replacement shakes Looking fwd to the surgery on May 1st but still very nervous anyone in the Birmingham or north central alabama area having surgery soon?

I've been home since Thursday and still feel like crap. I can hardly stand up straight. My staples are itching bad. I have constant gas rumbling but won't come out. I have a spot in between external incisions that is excruciating when I get up and down. But since this whole process started since pre-op to today I've lost 22lbs!

Just dropped my daughter off at my cousins her first time ever away from me for the night she's only 2 and im freaking out that something goes wrong during surgery tomorrow.
