2 days to go.

2 more days until surgery early Monday morning. I am super nervous now. Hoping for a busy weekend to keep my mind occupied.

  • Congrats! I just had surgery 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm doing great! The hospital stay was no big deal. I have had no nausea and sipped the broth, ate the jello and sipped the water slowly. I was fine.

  • Prepping all day. Clean house, wash laundry, last minute shopping and getting my hospital bag ready. Yay, this time tomorrow I will be out of surgery!!! It's getting too real. ????

  • Congrats to all. Hearing everyone's stories really does help to know I'm not alone. Positive stories about recent surgeries are good to hear too! Thanks all for sharing.

Best of luck to you when u feel up to it let us know how your doing

I'm in the same boat. Surgery is set for Monday at 8:00am.

Hoping not to think too much this weekend. I had work to occupy my mind but now what. I guess clean the house. Lol

Good luck on Your surgery!

I think you'll be surprised at how quickly the time will fly. And once you enter the hospital it's all kind of a haze, sort of like being in a dream state, at least it was for me.

Try and get some rest and concentrate primarily on the end product - a brand new you!

Congrats!

Congratulations on the surgery dates for the three of you! New life ahead ;)

Doing OK today. Just getting my toes done trying to distract myself from everything. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I'll do great.

Good luck to you all. I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed at nine, back up at 11 for 2 hours then tried to sleep again. Finally asleep at about 3. My stomach is freaking out with all of this anxiety. Cramping, rumbling and not to mention what is coming out. Sorry, TMI. Cleaned my whole house this morning and my mom will be arriving within the hour. 2 more sleeps!

What are you all eating for you lady meal? NUT told me something easily digestible cause if anything is left in my stomach they won't complete surgery. I don't have any sort of liquid preop to follow. Just low carb.

I slept ok, but woke up early. Did some last minute errands and took a nap. Hopefully tomorrow isn't bad. I have to clean and do laundry. My stomach is acting up too, but I think it's the liquid diet.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one so anxious.

My doctor did a two week only 20 carbs or less a day (which I have been suffering through) and on the day before surgery I can only have clear liquids. I have lost ten lbs already though!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one either! Very soon we will have a whole new set of issues to combat!

I have been on mushy foods today, tomorrow clear liquids and a colon cleanse in the evening. Not looking forward to that. Lol.

I had to make dinner for my husband while I had Jello.

I'm so excited for our new chapter!!!

congrats to all of those getting surgery tomorrow and tuesday im sure you all will do fine keep us posted on your progress
