One Week Pre-Op!

I have one week to go until my surgery. The count down is REALLY on. I couldn’t be more excited about this change in my life.

I do have some nervous feelings, as expected l, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I am going into surgery with one of my very best friends. I will have the best support from her!

Having had surgery on my uterus l, I know the gas pain is going to be the worst part of this but I am ready to conquer it! WALK WALK WALK.

I hope everyone is doing well and for those of you waiting, your day will come!!

Gah how do you deal with the wait?!? I hate waiting. Patience is my least favorite virtue, and I've neglected it quite wonderfully. But 1 week away is fantastic! What are you doing to distract yourself? Are you on a liquid preop?

I know the pain of the gas too having had my gallbladder out, that stuff is brutal!

I stay busy cleaning my house. Visiting my mom down the road....work & family life keep my brain occupied. Someone from the outside looking in, would have NO idea I was having a major life changing operation coming up.
I start liquid Friday. Only a 3 day pre op requirement for my doctor that I am thankful for. 1200 calorie diet until then. Still downing 64+ oz water daily.


You're Almost there! I start my 2 week liquid diet today! Good luck!
