I, too, am a February 25th'er. Arrive at the hospital at 7:00, surgery at 9:00. This morning I started my two days of liquids. I've been on a high protein diet since 2/5, when I had my surgeon eval. I haven't decided if I am staying overnight or not. While my hospital requires this be inpatient for coding purposes, I am self-pay, so my doc said, since they already have my money, I could go home that night, if I am doing ok. My family wants me to stay; I want the complete night of sleep I would get at home. Wait and see how I feel, I guess. Great luck, everyone!!
