Began the pre-surgery prep yesterday with my last(yea!) Medifast shake and a shower using Dial(anti-bacterial - required). Boy does that soap make my skin itch. Also had to take MOM but was smart and took it in the AM so I wasn't up until the wee hours going. My husband cooked me a steak for dinner last night - probably the last I'll have for quite some time.

Today it's clear liquid only. Exciting breakfast of coffee and orange sugar free jello and an ice pop - Mmm..Chewing gum helps keep me from putting anything real in my pie-hole. Almost time to take more MOM in prep for giving myself and enema tonight. Who-hoo big fun!

Good luck!! I hope it is as smooth and painless as mine was.

What time do you have to be at the hospital?

Bring a pillow to prop against your abdomen on the ride home and don't worry about what you wear to the hospital, you won't be wearing them long.

Good luck and keep us posted!! -BG

Thanks for the reminder - almost forgot the pillow!

My surgery is at 7:45am but I have to be to Ellis at 6am and since it's a 45 minute drive, I'll be up at 4am...yet another pre-surgery shower plus two dogs who I've got to get toileted before we leave.
