5 Days Out And Starting To Get The Jitters!

[TanngerineTrees 1]

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on Feb 13th, i am 6 night and 5 days away from my surgery day! I am very excited, and i know i'm prepared. I'm not sure what i'm feeling. I don't know if its nerves, then again, i don't get very nervous often. I just feel like now it's a sitting game, waiting to day. I've been taking prolisec like my doctor told me to, and i'm starting a 5 day liquid pre-op just to do it. tomorrow i'm going to pick up everything on my shopping list, i ordered some Isopure and Protein powder too.... I just feel like, i don't know it's hard to explain. It's almost butterflies, it's like i'm so prepared that i don;t think i am prepared, but i don't know what else i can or should do.

Anyway, i was just wondering if there is anything i should know for the day of surgery or the process from everyone else's experiences. I know what to expect, but at the same time i don't.

I don't know if i made any sense in this, but hopefully some of you can relate to me.

I'm scheduled for Feb. 13 too ! woo hoo ! Yes, it's exciting and scary and no matter how many posts I read I know that MY experience will be different than anyone elses so I don't really know what to expect. But... chances are it will all be good :-)

Everything you're feeling is VERY normal. Take a deep deep breath, meditate if you have to. Maybe you can find something to do in the mean time to take your mind off the fact you're going in for surgery in a few days. I came here a LOT while waiting on mine and I think I read every success story and viewed every photo album there was to look at... LOL

Just know you may come out feeling some pain, some nausea, fatigue and yup... might even regret it or wonder why you had this done. DO NOT PANIC!! These will all pass in time, promise. Stay head strong, walk as soon as you can get up, sip your fluids every chance you get and definitely get your rest. Your body will need that for proper recovery.

*hugs*

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I'm also having my surgery on Feb 13 th and am very nervous. I just pray all goes well. I have to do 7 days of the clear liquid diet and have 3 down. WOW

Wow!! So many on the 13th!! Congrats to all of you! You will all do great! Like Diva said, everything you are feeling is completely normal. You'll read it and hear it a million times on here and from your doctors, but make sure you get your Protein and Water in and you will do just fine.

Good luck to you all and CONGRATS!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! :clap2:

Thanks! I deff feel like i've read nearly every post on this website. I know i'm mentally prepared for all the pain, nausea, uncomfortable-ness, and what ever else horrible feelings i might have, i think it's just nerves due to the fact that i don't exactly know how i really will react to everything. But i will stay strong and stay calm!
