I'm April 28th and going crazy!

My pre-op diet was getting the best of me. I cheated, but got back on the saddle.

A ball of every emotion possible. Monday, for me, can't come fast enough!

I woke up today and said 6 more days to go *wowzers*

Today is Day 1 for me...stay strong!! We will be on the other side soon.

I hope I can make it through the day.

Today's the day! In three hours I'll be at the hospital. My nerves have calmed and I'm ready for this new path in my life to begin.

Good luck!!

It's mind over matter. You can do this! Remember why you're doing this and picture the end result. A new life is ahead of you.

Try to stay busy and if you're a praying woman - P-R-A-Y *hugs*

Today is day 7 of my preop diet and it seems to be getting a little easier!!! I can have 4 prepackaged "New Direction" (like optifast) diet foods a day, plus 4 oz. lean meat and unlimited green veggies. The diet food is pretty bad but the serving of meat and veggies helps. Plus unlimited sugar free Jello, popsicles and crystal light. I am so ready for my surgery it's not even funny. I have moved from scared, to anxious, to slightly nervous, to impatient! LOL

For those of you that have done the preop diet. Can you give me an idea of how many days of body cleansing you experienced. This is ridiculous I cant work like this. Lol, TMI I know but im struggling over here.

To answer your question, not trying to be gross, as soon as I started the clear liquid diet, I went into cleansing mode. Then, they made me drink Miralax the night before my surgery and it got worse till there was nothing left. Now, 6 days post op, I'm still on a clear liquid diet for two weeks, so it started over again two days after my surgery. My dr said it's normal and will get better when I'm able to add all liquids and some items of substance. So again, not trying to be gross or discouraging but want to be completely honest based on my experience thus far. Good luck! Just follow their instructions and you should do well.

Thanks for the response. I just took the rest of the week off

I pray it doesnt last the rest of the week or I will be stuck in the house. Eye on the prize so its tolerable but oh my how I wish it would stop.

Today is officially 2 weeks since I've had my surgery! Time flys!!! I went back to work yesterday (office job). Everything went fine all day as far as pain goes. Around 1pm I started getting tired. By the end of the day I was exhausted! Today is about the same! But other then that everything's good! My incisions are healing really nicely. 2 are completely closed up & look great. 3 others are about 3/4 of the way closed up. I'm not feeling hungry, but have been mentally "wanting" to eat. I hope everyone is doing great & those having surgery soon best of luck to u all!

[Swhitton85 66]

I'm ready!

How did everything go yesterday? How r u feeling now? Let me know when ur able to.
