How is everyone handling the nerves? I was having a full blown anxiety attack on Tuesday when he gave me my date of next week. In fact my blood pressure was up, and when the surgeon listened to my heart he commented on how fast it was going. Then I made the mistake of going straight to the lab to get my bloodwork done and of course my WBC was high! I guess mental stress can raise it.

Anyway, main point is that I am feeling much more at peace. I am soo ready for Wednesday. Just wish it would get here already so that it can be done and over with!

New here, but my surgery date is the 17th. Nervous for the start of the liquid diet on Monday.

Thinking of you! So glad you have some peace now. I can totally understand! We are holistic individuals ... When one part is out of wack it impacts the whole.

I am doing a bit better after finding one post on here from someone who had a positive experience with my surgeon at same hospital in Tijuana. Phew!

New here, but my surgery date is the 17th. Nervous for the start of the liquid diet on Monday.

Jc80, I hear you! I have been at this since Sunday. I am allowed to have a small piece of meat or fish, Beans, etc (protein) at night and a bit of salad, but, it sounds as though your surgeon is calling for complete liquids?

Keep remembering I can do anything for one day ... and then take it one day at a time. ????

Yeah, my dr requires 14 days of meal replacement shakes. They add up to about 600 cal per day.

My nervous were shot on Wednesday. I had a complete meltdown. I walked out of walmart and into the smells of the various restaurants. I almost went twice but knew that would be a mistake. So in turn I cried all the way to church.

I've been on full liquids since Sunday. Someone mentioned being allowed to have a piece of protein and a little salad. That would be great! But I guess will follow and and enjoy my doctors orders! I've leaned you have to push through this feeling just like with exercise. Good luck!!

Thanks so much!! I'm excited, nervous...every emotion I can feel I'm going through them all! They're calling for a major snowstorm in the Philadelphia area Sunday night into Monday...6-12 inches of snow so I'm praying I get to the hospital safely and everything goes as planned!! I'll be thinking of you all who are also scheduled Monday and am hoping to post as soon as I can!

I just joined the site a little over a week ago, I'm scheduled on 3/17. Good luck to everyone, I'm just ready to get it over and done(surgery) so I can begin my new life!
