Mine is a week from Monday. And I can think about is how to keep from getting sick. People at work are all sick. I need to be in a bubble

This is my biggest fear... Getting sick! I'm trying to stay away from my sick coworkers and was my hands as much as possible.

We just got rid of it in our house. I am praying that I don't pick anything else up before next week. I work in the post office and I shutter to think about what all my hands touch all day long while putting the mail out and taking peoples money

All I do is wash my hands and try to stay away from people but boy its tough.

I had my surgery this morning. I'm doing really good. Got home around 2pm and just been resting and trying to walk as much as possible. I have only taken pain medicine once since I got home. If I could get rid of all this "gas" pain I would be doing so much better! So glad to finally be on the other side.

I'm sick right now. I have a viral thing that won't go away. My surgeon says if it's not gone by the 21st, my surgery (scheduled for the 23rd) will be postponed I shudder to think that I'll go the full 2 weeks on this pre-op diet then have to do it again...

Congratulations! Glad everything went okay. Have you tried walking around your room to help with the gas? Or heat packs? Feel better

question....for those who are on the 'other side', how has it been on the liquid diet? are you tolerating the liquids OK? Are you hungry? my surgery is Monday and I'm keeping an eye on all your comments so I have a better idea of what to possibly expect in terms of all things post-op.
