Glad to hear your going home GAWildKat. Hope everyone else who is postop is healing well.

I had my EGD today. If all comes back OK with that, surgery is a go for the 10th!!

Lucky, you are lucky to only have a one day liquid diet! I'm on day 8 and it's been a $&@&@! It does get easier, but it's no fun. It has taught me that my body can survive on Protein Shakes, sf Jello, and water! I also now know that my willpower is alive and well. I've lost approx. 10+ lbs.

I had my surgery yesterday. Aside from the pain and nausea right after surgery I haven't been in too much pain. I was having some intense nausea ealier this morning but I got some medication for that. I've gotten up and walked the halls of the hospital 6 or 7 times today. More then they required and I've been using the restroom regularly so that's all great.

Getting all the fluids in is proving to be sort of difficult but I think it's just because I am still really drowsy. I can get the liquids down thought.

I'm nervous for the hour and a half car ride home tomorrow. Hopefully I can be pretty doped up on pain meds otherwise it is going to be the hardest part of the whole surgery.

It is great to hear from those that had their surgery. Congrats and keep us posted on your progress. I am in the first couple days of my two week pre op diet and it is tough. I went and got my hair cut today, to pamper myself a little. the 17th Seems Far Away AND Close At THE Same time. I am so excited and nervous. I got lip moisturizer and gas x strips to take to hospital. Also planning on bringing my robe and pillow. 8 Got Some Fuzzy Posters AND Markers to keep My Hands Busy Thought It Might be HELPFUL To Distract from food thoughts. I ordered a sample pack of Syntrax Nectar 15 single servings of all the different flavors for 15 dollars and 1.99 shipping. Looking forward to trying the fun flavors. If anyone has ideas on other things for the hospital Or any other advice or tips I would love to hear from you. Would also love to hear what others are planning for once home from hospital for their diet of full liquids.

I drank mine about a half hour ago. I bought the cherry flavor. I never imagined it would taste that bad. I started gagging after a few sips. Super yuck!

Peeking my head in here.....to say hello and join the Feburary club. After 8 months and one delay due to hip replacement surgery I got my date ...squeezing in on Feb 27 th! Only thing left to do is pre op blood work on the 17 th. Pre op diet is only one day but I need to start withdrawing from sugar and caffeine.

It will be fun to follow everyone here.
