prettynpink 19 Posted August 23, 2013 Got the call from the hospital, have to check in at 6 am on Monday! It's getting closer and closer! I switch to all clear liquid diet only tomorrow and colon cleanse stuff. Yuck. I'm so nervous something is going to go wrong. I've been stressing myself out so bad. I need encouragement! 1 mrs.katie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Med1862 41 Posted August 23, 2013 You can do this! My surgery is just over 2 weeks away and I have the same feelings and I just remember that there are thousands of these operations performed each year and the complication rate is very low nation wide. We are all doing this to be healthier and happier for ourselves and for the rest of our lives. Stay focused on the final goal and don't forget why you started this journey. Hang in there, we have your back! 1 angiep3880 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cleanse was awful! but it's all worth it. You're worth it. Don't stress yourself out, you will be fine. The week before my surgery I got so stressed that I broke out in hives. It was pretty intense, you just need to relax and focus on your endgoal! I'm so excited for you! And as always, I'm always here to talk if you need someone! 1 angiep3880 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

music1618 879 Posted August 25, 2013 I was fine, but my hubby was a nervous wreak. He told me he stayed up all night watching me sleep and then the morning of the surgery he was so nervous he threw up. My parents came to the hospital not for me, but ti keep him calm. I finally had to tell him to pull it together his nerves were making me nervous. You will do just fine!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes don't forget your Chapstick and maybe some slippers or flip flops. I've also packed my robe. I'm wearing the same thing home that I wear to the hospital. Oh and I hear a pillow is helpful too.

Yeah my pillow and teddy will be coming and as far as post op goes the only things I have right now are the liquid diet stuff, and my mom did pick up some baby food for stage 2, but I know I'll be favoring yogurt and mashed potatoes over everything then!
