armywifet 26 Posted May 13, 2012 I am getting so anxious/excited for surgery. I am starting my clear liquid diet a day early. I am still paranoid my liver won't be small enough. Keep thinking of the day I can donate clothes and get the big sizes out of here. My husband flies in today from Ft Bliss so he can take care of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotmichebags 1 Posted May 13, 2012 I am right there with you. My surgery is Thursday. I'm a basket case from crying to laughing to plan being silly. Best of luck I wish I was 2 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyLocutus 41 Posted May 13, 2012 I was so excited that I couldn't wait. Everyone asked if I was nervous and I never felt that way. The idea of someday having kids or riding crazy roller coasters or even buying a beautiful gown for my brother's wedding or being able to encourage others for the Lord all outweighed my fears....I am 2 weeks out of surgery and it's an adjustment but praise God it's been great!! Focus on the blessings this will bring to your life and look at the surgery date as your new birthday Onyx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotmichebags 1 Posted May 14, 2012 I think I am freaking more because mine was so fast. I only just went to the doc April 23 and said yes that day I wanted to do it and had my surgery date for May 17 the next day. So I learned a lot fast. I really didn't have a long time to wait. No long diets just 8 days of 1000 calories and I'll have a liquid day Wednesday. So I am very blessed to be fast and no long waits. I'm glad it was quick. Only thing I freak about is did I learn everything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
