melinda such lovely words' date=' thank you.

well, i know my surgery is day surgery. i asked my dr would i stay overnight, he said i would. (i think bc of my sleep apnea but am not sure). i may feel more comfy overnight knowing thr dr and nurses are there w/pain med if i need it. so i think i am spending the night. as for you, if you feel comfortable and ok to go home, id say go . just go by what your body tells you.

i know after my gallbladder surgery, i was up and about well but the next day was painful as hell. that was xmas eve too. i am so hoping it goes smoothly like my gallbladder.

hows your liquids? ?? doing okay??[/quote']

I think I'm going to feel better staying too. Meds are a great reason to stay... LOL

liquid is going but dang I really want to chew something!!! And already so tired of everything sweet!!! Fortunately no head ache today. How about you? This has got to be he hardest thing I have ver done. My stomach is gurgling but I must say I am pretty proud of myself for not cheating at all! 2 days down 3 more to go. We are almost there!!! How is it going for you Carolina? KAH?

I will admit I cheated today, but I'm back in the right mindset and ready for these next few days of liquids before surgery. I'm also doing overnight at the hospital and not outpatient. I think it's better to be safe than sorry, right?!

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

well gf, end of day 3 on all liquid and doing well......still runs but hanging in there with that...i am not a sweet person either and i agree everything seems so sweet. am glad for the broth esp at work. i drink 2 big cups of that at wk and it def feels me up.

am glad i did the 2 shakes per day last week oe i think it would be alot tougher on me right now,

are you getting the plication also?

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

cheated, how? what? i bet it wasnt bad at all.....

[Bamabander 111]

Thanks Shy! I can't wait. Love having y'all here for extra support and advice! I like so fast I can't be nervous!

Yes I am having plication... And good job Carolina! I am dying to have an egg white or something... Not gonna do it but really really want to.

Hang in there KAH... We're almost there!

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

egg white hell, cheese pizza when hub made my shakes tonight, he put in cup and said *here's your pizza*

[Bamabander 111]

Bahahaha! He's a funny guy... Lol. No I'm trying to think of something that if I cheated it probably wouldn't really affect the diet... I am so so hungry! I have been doing a Breakfast shake but that was it, thinking 2 would have been more helpful... And don't get me wrong, I would dig into an Italian firehouse sub right now and not look up until it was gone!!! #reallywantfoodbut

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

i decided if i cheat , it will be applesauce or a cracker or cream chix soup......so far so good w/no cheating. i couldnt be doing this good if it wasnt for my hub and my friend kathy at wk, big time support.

Not the end of the world, but I had a bagel for breakfast this morning because I assume it's not likely I'll ever be able to eat 1 again. Anyway, Soup for dinner and sf Jello. Tomorrow is a new day. Only a few more until we're on the other side. Yay.

thats not bad honey...thought you were gonna say tbone steak......are you on liquids only or modified?

[kah1213 311]

I'm on modified...then Clear Liquids only on monday. I know I'll be fine. Not letting myself get upset about it. I like being able to vent and get real with you guys. I've told 2 people about my surgery and they're supportive, but there is no way for them to really 'get it' with this whole process.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

well i am here, and bama (and everyone else). you can vent, b***h, moan Celebrate etc to your hearts content. i will listen and be here for you guys no matter what..

****this is the part where you say that to me**** LMAO
