MeShellRene 3 Posted August 21, 2013 I'm in Omaha, also excited and nervous. I've been saying good bye to my favorite foods this week. I start my pre op liquid diet on Saturday. Do people normally do like a "last meal" kinda thing?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueC1 27 Posted August 21, 2013 So after I was trying to decide if I was going to tell my coworkers or not, my boss approaches me today and wants to send out a email a week before my surgery to tell my coworkers that I'm having surgery and expect for me to be out of the office for several weeks. She is going to tell them to respect my privacy and not ask me about the surgery, which is going to be hard for some people (we all know those types that are to damn nosy for there own good). When she first asked me this morning, I thought it was a good idea, but I just don't now. Feeling frustrated.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SueC1 27 Posted August 21, 2013 I am excited but a little nervous too. I'm the same. Crazy that Im not worried about the surgery itself. Im more worried about getting my liquids in, getting Proteins in and recovering nicely more then anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
