jlhurd 4 Posted February 18, 2013 My surgery is on the 26th. I have been on the pre-op diet for a week and have another week to go. I have been allowed to eat every 2 hrs. Have a high Protein Drink and then 2 hrs later have a high Protein Bar. Then 4 oz meat and 2 cups veggies at dinner time. I am ready for mine. I am 62 years old and ready to have my life back.

I would get up and go to the bathroom or just face my computer until they were done eating etc. That is the only way I could deal with it at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyrakl 15 Posted February 18, 2013 They moved my surgery up to 8:45 tomorrow morning. I have to be there at 6:15. I stayed home today after drinking the citrus of magnesia... but not too much happened. Was it supposed to? I also spent all day arguing with the finance people at the hospital. They wouldn't take my payment over the phone! Do they want my money or not?! And dealing with my surgeon's office because they lost all my bloodwork!! So much stress, but at least I was distracted. I'm praying for all you February sleevers! This is really scary for me, so if you're scared too, know I'm sending you good vibes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
