@@TXTinana We are almost to the finish line ...5 more days. How have you managed on the liquid diet week 2 ?

@@shellyd67 I didn't do hot on just liquids. My doctor allows veggies and I relied a little too heavily on those last week. My in laws took us all out for dinner to Texas Roadhouse and they do not have Soups :-( I got the veggie plate with green Beans, sautéed mushrooms and a sweet potato (which I felt super guilty about). This week I am doing much better. I am looking to keep it strictly liquids all week.

I had the cold feet literally and mentally in pre-op. I tried to distract myself and because I was first in I was fortunately in before the panic got bad. I remember being wheeled in and thinking "OMG what the heck am I doing, RUN!" Then this nice male RN said "Ma'am take a deep breath and relax...."

Next thing I know I was in recovery----

NO REGRETS at all!

@@TXTinana It happens. I am sure you will get back on track !! Only a few more days. I have been cleaning and organizing every square inch of my house. I stocked the fridge and freezer for my hubby and the kids for my two week pre-op. This weekend I plan to restock the fridge and freezer for my post op and get my laundry all caught up and my house tip top. I plan on keeping super busy.

I had no idea we had to stay in until wed I tought it was a one day surgery in and out!!!. I was told that back when I started the process.

How long you stay in varies based on your recovery. I had my surgery on a Monday and went home on Tuesday. My understanding is that is fairly standard, but is also fairly normal for some folks to need an extra day or two.

Not everyone does. My doctor requires a two day stay just to make sure everything is going smoothly before I go home.
