I have my surgery scheduled for May 27th; I know there was a post a while ago that some people were responding to but could not find it again.. but since we are a week away now - wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? I seem to be doing Ok with the shakes, using the blender and throwing in about 10 ice cubes really makes them thick and yummy and really filling,, much more than I thought the would be. How is everyone else doing? I am very excited for the group of people that is going thru the surgery this week and my best wishes is with them!!

I do have the medicine... but I think I was wrong yesterday today is the night before the night before... ha ha...can't keep myself straight... I did real good on the diet I didn't cheat at all. Tomorrow I go in for my mammogram and my yearly.. they were just about due and I was able to get them scheduled for the day before surgery. did not think the mammogram would be too comfortable to do afterwards....then I am going to go get my hair done and a pedicure... then pick my sons early from school so I can start drinking the lovely medicine... I figured no way was I going to be waiting for the kids away from the house and then oh man where is a bathroom.... I wish everyone this week the best of luck and hopefully we all come thru this with all of our dreams just starting to be realized.

That's funny! Until like Friday I was sure my surgery was Wednesday (but still the 26th) every time my husband I even talked about planning for the week we wound up hugely frustrated and annoyed with each other.

I am due at Admitting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled for 11:45 but I imagine since I'm not first up it could be almost anytime in early afternoon.

I am generally pretty OK with the surgery itself. I only had to liquid diet yesterday and today and yesterday morning my slight hunger and excitement were making lovely butterflies in my stomach and I felt almost high. Then the PEG 3350 (or "poop" medicine) sort of ruined that! Now I keep having waves of "This is crazy!" but still no worries over the surgery itself which is either confidence or lack of insight. Eh, I'll take it.

wow, I just can't imagine how I'm going to feel the night before. I'm scheduled at 11:30am, 2nd Case. You have my prayers. Can't wait to read your updates.

In the car! On the way!

@@didi438 its totally understandable. You have my prayers, you will do great. Can't wait to hear your updates when you are up to it.

Thanks for well wishes. All went well! I just had my first walk around. ( weird, I had to ask! A few times.). I was pretty miserable on my back not able to move.

@alilove2631... So glad to hear that everything went well. Are you able to drink any Water, Protein or broth? I am glad that you are up walking around.

Yeah the best parts so far have been being able to walk to the bathroom but hurts like hell when I get up or sit down. My surgery went well though. I'm sad I can't drink anything until I get out of the hospital tomorrow

Lol, are you feeling hungry though? Did the after effects of anesthesia make u feel nauseous? I hear it does. I'm asking for the patch behind the ear, lol.
