So my orignal surgery date was 11/24 and I received a called this morning and was asked if I would mind coming in tomorrow instead. I said … well no I wouldn’t mind. After all the rings of fire I went through to get the date I had, this was really a welcomed surprise, but now … I am really nervous. I had started my 2 week high Protein diet yesterday and now went immediately into my Clear liquids diet today. Any words of wisdom/advice before my big day?

Just have your ducks in a row... order or buy whatever Protein shakes and Vitamins you're going to need, + incidentals like sugar free flavorings, PB2 and or malted milk powder (for chocolate protein shakes).

I also suggest you ask your doctor to write orders to get your pain meds put into the IV, so you don't have nurses handing you a very large pill.

Also, tell your doctor that you want the gas removed so you don't have pain afterwards.
