I had surgery today at 7:30.. Once I said bye to my mom I was soo sad I was crying an breathing heavily. I had a nurse who was holdings hand and I pretended she was my mom. She told me she wouldn't let go. I was sooo scared. The staff was nice and all. I was regretting it so much I wasted to stop but I knew this was what I wanted. Woke up in pain. Could barely open my eyes. I refused pain medication and my mom and sister apparently. Woke up again after 30 and asked for my mom and medication. My scares do not hurt at ALL. It's my throat that does. It's a just a MUST that you AlL bring a blistex with you. That's helping me a lot. You have no idea so please listen and go buy one. My throat is very dry. There was few times that I wants to throw up but there was nothing to vomit except gas. Omg that hurts so much. I am sad that I am feeling this way. And please don't think I am discouraging anyone just telling my story. They just gave me medication and for dizziness. I am sitting up at the moment bc they said it help with the gas. My back it's staring to hurt a little. Do I have regrets? Maybe just a little! I feel my stomach empty but even if I could I wouldn't want to eat or drink anything. I've been doing the breathalyzer thingy every hour because it helps. I also have a heart monitor since I had heart surgery. Ohh and they wrapped these massage things on my leg which helps with the blood clots but my legs feel so good I am loving it. I will check back later

Ok leaving for the hospital now. Litter nervous

Best way to start the new year!!!!! Did most of shopping.. All I need to buy is food for the next 2 weeks.. I'm not nervous at all.. Shocker Mother Nature decided to come early.. Hopefully that will not interfere with the surgery.. Right? It shouldn't? I'm going to pack my hospital bag today since my weekend is going to be super busy.. Can't wait till Monday.. The only think that is going to bother me is my stomach and throat growling .. Anyone found a way to make it stop??

Yay for us good luck and yes we will

Love the advise thank you. I plan on doing that

I am allergic to pain killers as well. This makes me feel better since I won't be taking any besides Tylenol thank you

Thank you everyone for the kind words i will keep you all posted lost of love and good luck to everyone who's surgery is coming up. The gas part really scares me ahhhh lol ok I'm ready for surgery. I was not scared until today lol but I'm good now

Hi everyone. My surgery is December 30 and I need your help.. Please tell me what I should take with me at the hospital.... Also, even though I don't have to do a liquid diet, I wanna know whys some good protein shakes I can try that are tasty since I am not a shake person.. Also what should I take for gas, stomach/throat growling etc.. Please give me some idea what I should buy. Need to buy them tomorrow. Your help will be appreciated...

I was sooooo inpatient then I called his office multiple times a day. I did have a date though on the day I went for my consultation. I bothered them so much making sure they have everything that I am sure they can't wait to get rid of me haha

All done bought bed bed sheets and pillows so when I come home it will be a brand new me with new things at home ... I also bought different medication to have just in case I need it .. My bag is packed and now just waiting for the day to come woohoo so excited ... I also got the pill crusher yay.. I literally went everywhere to search for liquid Tylenol and couldn't find it. The pharmacist told me to get the kids one and just take more.. That's what I bought hope it helps. I am allergic to pain killers so I wanted to have something home waiting in case I have pain.. Ohh and I bought an awesome warming pad from bed bath and beyond for 25$ and I love it. I tried it last night since my tummy was bothering me and the pain seriously went a away. Yay I belong excited.

My surgery is actually on Monday. And yes the chest pain I am afraid of since I can't imagine how painful it will be. I finished my shopping today and I bought different kind of medicine just to have it handy when I am home. I can't wait

Will go to buy it today

I am so happy for all of us 2014 is going to be a great year. Don't be sad about your birthday. Think of it as this is the best bday gift ever. 2 more days woohooo... I am going to miss my chocolate and soda hahahaha

Thank youuuuu and yes I got both plus an extension can't live without my phone

Pill crusher huh? Where the hell can I get that? Lol.. Damn it.. I thought I was done shopping. I guess I will take another trip... And thank you

You are a doll. Thank you so much. I bought an extension cord last night and packed it in my bag. I just can't wait lol. And thank you for your response. I was afraid they might cancel due to Mother Nature problems haha

I believe I will have to stay 2 days as well since I had heart surgery and they will want to monitor before they let me go.. I also heard that if you can't drink the next day, they won't discharge you. Thank god I have insurance

I thankful for all your inputs. I can't wait till Monday yay

So I do not need to do a liquid diet for my surgery, however, I decided that I wanted to do it so I can get used to it. This is super hard. I can eat a whole pie of pizza. Omg I am hating diet snapple and the jello. I got my first protein shake from Atkins (strawberry flavor) it's ok for now but I know I'll get tired of it soon. I am a super picky eater and hate the taste of milky stuff. So anyone recommends a protein drink that tastes ok without the end feeling of milk?

Maybe I did that so I can get as much information as possible. So that was not needed. Thanks

Thank you so much. I will take them with me just in case thanks

Thank you ladies soo very much I am so excited. My shopping list is getting longer for sure

You will do just great I will pray for both so us. It's so excited ... I barely sleep of being so happy haha Thank you for the info this will help me a lot today

I do believe and I really appreciate it. God bless you xoxo

Thank you so much. This is helping me so much
