I feel like I'm going to lose my mind today

Anyone else?!?

I have been going thru this 2 week pre-op diet with out a hitch cooking meals for my family and it not bothering me in the least I have felt so strong and amazed at my will power and change in mind set.. Until today ... Only clear liquids today as I am having surgery tomorrow morning, I just made dinner for the fam and I am starving I want something. I need my protein shakes back. Never thought i would say that. I don't know how anyone did clear liquids for any longer than 1 day. Kudos to you. I just can't wait to go to bed for this day to be over...

Same here my stomach is growling and I am making lunch and dinner for my family as im sipping on broth. Im so ready for tomorrow wish I could just go to sleep and wake up and tomorrow is here. Stay stong

Hope your surgery went well! You will be back to those protein shakes in no time!

Same here. My stomach has not felt great all day. The hospital just called with my arrival time. 12:15! Which means by the time I get back there and get all set up, surgery isn't going to be until like 2:30. I am sooooo irritated. Liquid diet for a week. Clear liquids today and nothing to eat or drink after midnight! Ugh!!

I was originally scheduled for 2:30 I told the scheduler I am a diabetic was that a good idea for me to wait all day she moved me to the first of the day.. So have to be there at 5:45am.

Hang in there everyone. That is arguably the worst part of the whole process! I was lucky and had a 7:30 a.m. surgery, but you're all right - go to bed as early as possible!! After tomorrow it will be behind you and you can start your new life!! Good luck to all of you!!

Its pretty sad when a protein shake sounds good actually it sounds amazing right now Im in california so drinking hot chicken broth is nasty right now Im going to now just drink tons of cold water to fill me up.

Yes I remember thinking the preop diet was the worst. You can and will all do it!! Stay strong!!

@@KarenF1972 Trust me. When you get up tomorrow food will be the LAST thing on your mind. You will not be hungry. Trust me! And you will not be hungry when you wake up from your surgery nap!

yes keep us posted, very excited to hear how you do for surgery, and the other person too having surgery tomorrow please. I am not having mine until nov 24th, feels like a long time. I have anxiety, and bipolar so meds are a must for me. I am nervous about being nervous. Oh Lord help me. I hope they could just do mine early so I won't be having panic attacks. But Im not diabetic and they take people in as medically needed first. I understand that. They said if I am having a panic attack they will give me liquid valium.

I have been on my pre op diet for a week now and all I have been doing is throwing up. Every protein shake makes me nauseous, diet ginger ale won't even suffice. I don't really know how I'm going to make it through another week of this.... AND then still not be able to eat anything for several weeks after surgery.

I go tomorrow too. I am hungry and stressed. Still need to pack my bag and do my hibiclens wash. I am so tired, I just want to go to bed and wake up tomorrow when it's all over. Lol

BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE GETTING SLEEVED TOMORROW!!!!!! I will be sending up prayers along with positives thoughts for all. This is the day that everyone of you have worked so hard for. Congratulations!!!!!
