I am scheduled for 7/11. Excited but I am somewhat nervous. I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet. I will report back after the surgery .

Does anyone have a good pre op to do list? I'm starting to worry I'm going to forget something critical. I'm going 11/7. Started my two week pre op diet today.

I'm also scheduled for July 18! This is my second scheduling; the original was postponed as I had a horrible chest cold. The anesthesiology nurse listened to me cough on the phone and said no way, no how were they doing surgery the next day! OF course, this was on day 13 of the 14 day, pre-op, liquids-only diet! I missed 2 graduation BBQ parties during that 2 week time period, and let me tell you, there was some amazing food at those parties that I missed out on! ANYHOW... I am rescheduled for July 18 and cannot wait. I am OK with the 2 week pre-op diet; already did it, so I know I can do it again! My 60th birthday is July 26, but I'm having a surprise going-away party for my daughter that night. Sure hope I'm feeling well enough to pull it off. We are having it at a local pub, with pizza, wings, beer, etc. I am not worried about the food- I know I won't be cheating that night- just hoping to feel strong enough 10 days post-surgery to BE there!

My date is July 7 but I'm out of town July 2-6, flying back the night before surgery so I'm working on this list. Have to have everything ready for the hospital and immediately postop before I leave on the 2nd.

Here's what I have so far:

- make sure I have at least one of all of the allowed post op liquid options stocked and reachable (broth, tea, Protein Powder all come down from the high shelves. Popsicles in the freezer and ready made drinks in the fridge)

-fill my prescriptions before I leave town

- clean bed sheets to come home to (always the last thing I do before traveling anyway)

- place heating pad by the bed in case I need it

- braid my clean hair the night before surgery (so I don't have to worry about it!)

- make sure I have antibacterial soap on hand (hibiclens)

- fill all the ice cube trays

- clear my schedule for the days immediately following surgery

- stock up on some library books and fresh reads for when I'm around the house (looking forward to this!)

- set out some comfy, easy to wear breezy clothes for around the house

- clean the house (in case I'm too tired after)

- pack for the hospital (phone charger, gas x strips, eyeglass case, face cream, headphones)

That's all I have so far. I'm recovering alone so this list may look strange to anyone who has help!

Should you have Liquid Tylenol on hand maybe- so you don't have to go out and get any? (Because I am hoping you won't need the heavy-duty prescription drugs for post-op pain!)
