Pre op diet starts tomorrow

[Kmgaustin 6]

I only have 3 days of yogurt and Water only starting tomorrow.

I am more scared how I will function at a very physical job run around job for the next 3 days

I keep having this conversation in my head, just get through these 3 days you can do it. I don't eat much when I am at work but when I am home I eat,eat,eat.

Maybe I should just sleep as soon as I am home from work.

I have read that people are dizzy and light headed on the pre op diet. I sure hope that doesn't happen to me.

I am getting really nervous for this whole process. for the last 2 months, I have been looking forward to everything. Now I am in the final stages and I am scared.

My surgery is in Mexico and the dr doesn't speak english and I don't speak spanish. Nor do the nurses. I just hope all goes well.

Thanks for listening.

I think being nervous is normal. I am about 10 days away from surgery. Having my preop visits tomorrow and Tuesday. I am nervous too and my team speaks English. Just keep remembering this is something you chose...you do not have to do it...but you choose it. Not sure that will help...but think the nerve thing is very, very normal. Good luck.
