2 Days Left Of Pre-Op

[gottobeme 81]

It's almost here! Friday the 13th.

I am starting to get a little more nervous but not as much as I though I would. How has it been for the rest of you? Did you get more nervous the closer it got to surgery? Or was it smooth sailing all the way?

I was really only slightly nervous the morning of. Off course, I had the usual concerns prior, but not enough to question the actual surgery. I figured if anything was going to go wrong, the hospital was the place to be with the trained professionals

I think it's pretty normal to be nervous. I was! When I get nervous, I get really quiet and calm. It's sorta weird. I would be concerned about you if you DIDN'T get a bit of the butterflies.

 

I'm sure you will both do great and I can't wait to hear how everything went.

 

Remember this is just a small part of your life changing journey!

Be awesome!

hugs,

I am quickly running out of time before my surgery. I had my last real meal tonight and tomorrow is all Clear Liquids. Monday morning is surgery.

Hope all went well for you and can't wait to hear your report on the other side.

Things went very well for me, thank you! Almost 36 hours post op and so far no shoulder pain. I'm keeping up with the minimum amount of pain meds the doctor gave me though. My husband is keeping an eye on it and stretching the 4-6 hours to 5 hours today and 6 hours tomorrow to help me out.

So glad to hear things went well for you! Would love to hear how it went and how you're feeling now! My day is Thursday so I'm getting super nervous!

2 days post op and doing pretty good. Right now the toughest thing for me is trying to decide if my pains are gas, hunger, incision, muscle or if I'm too full. I've been sipping Water all the time and have also had some Protein Shakes, greek yogurt, SF popsicles, applesauce and SF Jello. I haven't had pain meds for about 9-10 hours and trying to decide if I should take some or not. Pain is not bad at all or I would have had more by now.
