WOW!

I have been here reading and supporting others who have gone before me and had the surgery. I can believe its almost my turn! I leave for San Diego on Sunday and should be going into surgery on Monday morning. I emailed Trish so I can find out more details about when I should go NPO for surgery. My plan was to do the liquid Protein diet up until Sunday and then stop everything around 8 or 9 pm for surgery. I hope that is going to work! I also went shopping for some things for post op...I got my post op outfits which consists of loose cotton knee legnth shorts and capris, loose tank shirts and a zip up cotton sweat shirt for the plane ride. I plan on bringing a small pillow for the post op moving around as well. I got my rob and slippers and two pajama two piece sets for the hotel. I purchased two thermals thanks to Heather T who suggested it for warm broths. I plan on using one for tea and one for broth. I am going to pick up tea for bloating and for healing to assist my body bouce back. Am I missing anything?? I probably am since Im writing this down from the top of my head. I would love any feed back from recent sleevers who can assist with this. Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate it!!

Sounds like you've got what you need. I really didn't eat a lot when I was there that I prepared myself. It was either ice chips in hospital or I had broth or chamomile tea at the hotel restaurant. I did drink some gatorade and things like that. I am excited for you!! Let me know if you have any specific questions. Can't wait to hear your story when you get back!!

Your plan for presurgery food/drink wise should be just fine. I stopped having anything the Sunday before I went too and then just had Water on the plane and more Water while I waited for my surgery.

Thank you Griselda! I went out yesterday and changed out my new loose fitting shorts and capris for even bigger sizes just for comfort. I picked up the liquid vitamins and meltable tablets of B12 and Biotin. I still need to get the gas x and the calcium citrate which is harder to find than anticipated. I need to compare the stregnth of the chewable gas x compared to the strips. I also hope my organic tea and cat claw holistic drops help with imflamation.

I am also on the 18th!! Here's the list of all of us July sleevers http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/20339-july-master-list/

We should keep in touch and keep track of each other's progress! I am getting so nervous!! lol

We have a sleever there right now that should be going into surgery any minute! Readytolive. They brought her food last night and told her that there no reason to be on a liquid diet! We were both shocked! I'm having my surgery locally, and my surgeon has had me on preop liquids since last Thursday! Just another 2 days for me, then I'll be on the losers bench!!!

I would suggest the gasex meltable and a laptop/ipad or book to help you pass the time. I will be sending good vibes for you. take care
