May 24 Surgery Day

[LoveMyBypass 251]

He he he... I had a terrible dream.. last night before falling asleep, I was remembering that I bought fresh strawberries that I forgot to eat. So I dram that that I ate the whole 16oz case the night before surgery!!! It was terrible!! Lmao.. . Glad it was just a dream, though.

Today is my first day of liquids.

2 more days, guys!!

@omnica That is so funny about the strawberries because I had similar feelings about other food that was in my fridge, haha. I am on the Clear Liquids for two days also. My dr. also required that I drink a bottle of magnesium citrate for bowel prep today as well. I drank it at 10am and I feel so queezy! Bless my heart, I am ready for these two days to be over. We are almost there!

He didn't tell me to do that.. but I did do it on my own. Before bed last night, I drank a laxative tea and a sea salt flush this morning. I am super ready too. I need to recheck my hospital bag once more tomorrow night. Wooo!

I don't start my clear liquid diet until tomorrow! I think that is why surgery on Tuesday doesn't feel real! I am keeping busy by cleaning the house and tomorrow I will go into work a few hours early so I can have everything prepared for while I am off. I am having serious fears of being one of the people that has a leak! That is why I must keep busy! Hope you all are doing well!

So I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Haven't even packed yet! Seems so unreal that this happening tomorrow! I'm one of the weirdos that's not really that nervous. Just ready to start this new chapter!

I haven't packed yet either! I will tomorrow. I have to go to a pre-op class required by my surgeon. That doesn't get over util 8 so hopefully I will be able to sleep. Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing after surgery.

I had a 2 1/2 hour Pre-op class 2 weeks ago. Woo Hoo, grand fun. I was on a 2 week Pre-op diet, so they required the class before that started. Packing is my last pre-op thing to do LOL.

Hi all! I'm having GB on the 24th too! Getting nervous! What if they open me up and decide I am not ready?! Btw my twin sister is @@Hannahb3997 and we are having surgery the same day. We're both wrecks right now!!!!

Alright everyone, I am getting really nervous for surgery????. I had a Liver Reduction Diet for two weeks. I did well, but I had a few slip ups along the way. During the first week I had a piece of bread. This past week I swapped out a half cup of cottage cheese, which is on my diet, for a tablespoon of fat free cream cheese. I know this seems like a silly reason to be freaking out. Over some bread and cream cheese, but I am just nervous!! Some people don't even have a pre op diet, so I think I'll be okay. I also did lose a good amount of weight over the pre op diet, so that will help.

Wow twins at the same day.. that's amazing! Good luck to you both.

I'm on liquids today.. I'm starving
