Surgery tomorrow! Freaking out

I'm not overly concerned with the actual surgery but i started my liquid diet Friday and have cheated a little every day. Yesterday I cheated a lot. Half a breakfast sandwich, a bag of cashews and a bunch of popcorn. I'm so nervous even though my liver isn't fatty anyways. Whoever thought of this clear liquid diet has obviously never been on one. 23 more hours!!!!

Had really bad experience. 2nd day post op had iv infiltrated and broke out in rash and reddness. Itching all over. Had alot of new meds I've never had before so could have been anything. Home now. Surgery was the 4th still sore but more tolerable. Still have large rash on right side of my face. Never had n/v. So glad. Not sure I could handle much more!

glad you are doing better. I'm hanging in there too. Feel like my belly is going to rip open every time I stand up but if I support myself I'm ok. Plus I'm hungry! Like really hungry. And nothing helps. What does it mean when your iv is infiltrated? I had a huge air bubble in mine and alarms started going off everywhere. Scared the crap out of me. But I'm sure you agree, each day gets a little better. Have u weighed yourself yet?

My iv blew the vein nd the iv fluid was going in my arm and not the vein. Ican stand better and walk better but still can't bend over lol

And I definitely know the hungry feeling. I feel like I'm starving all the time. I go wednesday to get my drain out

Yes I weighed myself. I know I'm not supposed to this early but I did. Down 7 lbs since surgery the 4th
