kparadisek 115 Posted August 24, 2013 My surgery us monday an im startin to get nervous hope this weekend will go by fast Hey surgery buddy! It will be Sunday at midnight before you know it. We probably won't get any sleep because we're so excited! What time do you have to be at the hospital? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kparadisek 115 Posted August 24, 2013 I think not being able to have any liquids after midnight Sunday is going to be the hard part. How are y'all doing on your pre-op diets if you had to have one? Are you already packed? I am I've just got a few last minute things to pick up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloreorbust 286 Posted August 24, 2013 The pre-op diet has not been bad at all. I'm on Atkins. There have been times when I really want to have something (pancakes!) "one last time", but that passes. I messed up once with a small piece of birthday cake, and that was it. And I am with you on no fluids after midnight. We get no Water at all until the next day after surgery! I have no idea how to handle that yet. I have packing left to do and some cleaning, but I am torn between doing that and just going out and having fun and forgetting about chores lol. Rebel!

Nighthawk 28 Posted August 24, 2013 I was also concerned about not being able to drink Water for so long....I remember the day after surgery laying there using the oral swab they give to to wet your lips .....When they were not looking i sucked all the water off....before you know it your taking little sips and it feels great.....Then the doc comes in and says you can have crystal lite. That is HEAVEN...... I remember thinking i would pay 50 bucks a glass for that crystal lite it was so good....but i was in the hospital so i probably did LOL 1 kparadisek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kparadisek 115 Posted August 25, 2013 Congrats to you both! The time is going to go by so fast! I'm already wondering where my morning went. I have to be at the hospital at 5 in the morning. I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to get in as many liquids as possible because I know after midnight I've got to cut it off for hours. Continue to keep us posted and I'll do the same!
