joybl 9 Posted June 3, 2012 Im freaking nervous. I hope I can pull myself together by Monday morning. If you are ready mentally and have your post op supplies, please try to focus on the future. No sense in stressing yourself out. The procedure is so routine now and if you follow post up care instructions, you should be fine. Think of all the positive things just around the corner. I am a big baby and wad not that nervous. Once they start the IV, your cares go out the wondow. They give you meds for pain and nausea. I wish you a successful procedure as mine was. One night of pain...just push the putton! 1 Amytequilahouse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenb4729 309 Posted June 3, 2012 I'm right there with you! Surgery is tomorrow at 7:30am PT. I had to drink magnesium citrate yesterday for a bowel prep and am on Clear liquids with no eating or drinking after midnight. Its funny because two weeks ago I was such a basket case and now, well is more resolved and at peace with my choice. I'm glad that I have taken 4 weeks off work because I feel like I can relax in the healing process because I have a month to get use to the newness of everything before adding in the work stress. We are going to do great and I can't wait to see what we all look like this time next year. 1 Amytequilahouse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanb0052 40 Posted June 3, 2012 You can do this!!! Just make sure you have an approved drink at your side all the way to midnight If you haven't already, I recommend getting a bunch of different flavors of crystal light single service packets. This way you can switch it up quite a bit! If you're allowed sugar free Jello or popsicles, chew a couple of those throughout the day! 1 Amytequilahouse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
