This is my first post, but I'm looking for some words of encouragement for my surgery tomorrow. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30, so that means getting up around 3 a.m. I'm so excited to start this new part of my life! Any words of wisdom?

Practicing sipping slowly now prior to my surgery date and eating more clear and soft foods in an effort to prepare my mind, body and soul for the two week clear liquid diet my doctor requires prior to surgery. I am so grateful to hav efound this site where I can get such great support and encouragement form everyone!!!!

Just saw this post, and wanted to say that I hope things went smoothly for you, and that you are home resting and feeling better every day!

Thanks everyone. I came home today. I'm more sore than I was at the hospital but I'm attributing that to the 1 1/2 hour trip that was at times bumpy. Today I had my first liquids other than water, which was nice. I didn't come anywhere near getting in my 60 g of protein today, but I didn't start until around 4 with anything other than water. I'll do better tomorrow.

So glad your home and feeling somewhat well. From everything I've read, it's not so much the protein you REALLY need to worry about, it's more about staying hydrated, so I wouldn't be overly worried about the proteins. Feel better.
