Just waiting to hear what time surgery will be tomorrow. Eeeeeek! Bundle of nerves, trying to get things done around the house. Questioning if this is what I should be doing... I know it is the right thing, but last minute doubts are creeping in my head. Only clear liquids today, that is fine, I don't think I could keep anything else down.

Best if luck! You'll do great :-). Day 1!!

Day 1... That sounds good!

Its called a bowel prep where you drink this stuff that cleans you out so they say stay near a bathroom. My surgery is Monday and I got a prescription from my surgeon. I have to drink mine Sunday morning between 8am and 12pm and I can only have clear liquids.

Thanks BNM2013. Good to know.

Ok so I walked for the first time. Getting up and out of bed was horrible. Once I started walking (with a walker). My whole body felt better. Will try again in a few hours

That's good - that u felt better even if it was tough getting out of bed. How many days will u be in the hospital? How long did they have u walk around?

I will be in 2 nights... They let me walk as much as I wanted. It wasn't far, maybe 3 doors down and back

We don't do that in England, I'm glad as well. Good luck x

Congrats! I know when my husband has his surgery he said getting up was the worst the first few days. He rarely needed pain meds which surprised me. I have surgery July 16th do I will find out soon enough! So glad you are doing well!
