sandyt67 7 Posted June 22, 2013 I am up and down. If I really dwell on things, I get super nervous. I just can't wait until Tuesday is here. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and the surgery is at 7:30am. 2 CCRNonherway and brandnew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kami63 215 Posted June 23, 2013 I get my time to report to the hospital Monday too. I am already having weird dreams about work and surgery. Tomorrow will be my last day at work for two weeks and we are already behind so it is kind of stressful. I told my coworker bough that after Monday I CANNOT be thinking about work. I need to be thinking of my recovery. How long is everyone else taking off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandyt67 7 Posted June 23, 2013 My doc recommends 2-4 weeks off depending on what kind of job you have. I work from home, so I am taking 2 wks off. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy last May and the hardest part for me was wearing regular pants because they rubbed my incisions wrong and then the actual driving into work everyday. This time, since I work from home, I won't have to worry about either one of those issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thenewme13 39 Posted June 23, 2013 I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging . I have been so good' date=' high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?! On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face . Good luck to everyone this week! Sent from my iPad using VST[/quote'] Dont be discouraged, my surgery its on Tuesday June 25 as well :-) I only lost 3lbs on preop diet my doctor said it was fine the liver still shrinks because its not helping to process the yunk food we are used to eating so it made me feel better Good luck keep us posted :-) 1 CCRNonherway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandnew 72 Posted June 24, 2013 How long is everyone else taking off? I am taking it easy for a week, then going in for two days for three or four hours just to make some calls and tie up loose ends. Then I'll go in part time for a few weeks. Trying to ease back into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
