One week!

[kamcar616 15]

One week from today I'll be having surgery! I have an appointment today for a pre op physical and I think blood work. I'm crossing my fingers my hemoglobin level is within range, as it has been low before. I'm scared it will get canceled if its low.

Good luck....Pre op tomorrow for me.

Good luck to you both! The first few weeks are rough, I wont lie, but you are going to be SO happy you did this, I promise!! Follow your doc's orders and rest as much as you can after surgery. Make sure you get your liquids in and dont rush getting back to solid foods too quickly. Please keep us posted!!

How did your pre op go? Mine is in the clear. liquid diet all day today and have to be to the hospital bright and early tomorrow morning at 5.

[skc72 138]

I get a morning and noon shake then Clear Liquids and magnisium citrate (fun).....super nervous!

Oh I have a later surgery....have to be at the hospital at 9 for surgery at 11...unless they call and change it.

I had to take milk of magnesia as of last night at bed time. Let me tell you it is not fun! Again tonight plus a long car ride should be interesting tomorrow morning.

Lol...I made a hair appt not thinking I will be one bottle in....calling her now to see if I can come in early. Gonna have my hair washed and french braided so I don't have to mess with it. I have to shower tonight then use a medicated cloth and use it again in the morning.

[kamcar616 15]

A whole bottle?! Oh good lord I only had to drink 2 oz. And the side effects kicked in right away! I was also told to shower tonight. I don't have to use those medicated cloths, was told to shower as normal but no shaving. I think I'll probably just use soap instead of my scented body wash just in case.

[skc72 138]

Oh I have to drink a whole bottle and if nothing happens by 6 I have to drink another one.....Lord help me if the first bottle doesn't work....lol

[kamcar616 15]

Oh my gosh, Good luck! Have a bottle of Water ready. I didn't care for the taste. Wasn't the most awful thing but the thickness is what got me

[skc72 138]

Yeah not looking forward to it at all.

[skc72 138]

@@kamcar616 gotta drink the 2nd bottle!!

[kamcar616 15]

Oh no! Drink with caution! I'm dreading having to take my 2 oz before bed. Will the Dr make you drink a third?! Hopefully not. I now have this fear of crapping on the table! Ha. Hopefully its done and over with by the time I have to leave tonight!

[skc72 138]

I just made me a cup of Smooth Move tea also.....come 2 am I'm gonna be dying! We don't have to leave the house til 715...

[kamcar616 15]

2 am is about when I will be leaving. My kids are eating spaghetti tonight and it smells so good but surprisingly I have no desire to eat it. I'm hoping a few books will fill 'that' void and keep me distracted
