As soon as I wrote University of Arizona or Alabama, I realized it was probably AU - I have a cousin who graduated from Auburn - great school!

Diane - I realized it was AU, not UA as soon as I wrote it!! Auburn is a great school - I knew a lot of people who went there!

Went to my nutritional class today and I am so pumped. I only have to do Clear Liquids the day before surgery, but they ask, not require that you control carbs/fat a couple weeks before. The only thing that upset me was no swimming for 4-6 wks. I thought they meant, actually swimming, no they mean no pool for 4-6 wks! Just when it's almost warm enough:cursing:

Hey Diane - Glad your nutrition seminar went well. I thought I had mine today - even went to it, but realized in the parking lot that it isn't until tomorrow!! Just a little bit of a brain fart there! :frown: Seem to be having them more often lately - oh well! My doctor has me do 3 days of liquid diet, but we will see what the nutritionist says tomorrow!

I'm glad I'm not the only one losing my mind!:confused2::confused2: I keep thinking about surgery and what I'm supposed to be doing to get ready and everything else seems to have just left the building!

Hello my fellow May 22nd bandsters. Update for you all. I'm finishing up day 1 of the liquid diet, have managed to keep my hunger under control so that's good. However, worst headache ever right now, that will hopefully go away. I got my final clearance from the internist on Monday, so exciting, but at the same time found out that I have a 1cm kidney stone. NOT EXCITING. He said it's fine for now, told me what signs to watch out for when it becomes blocking, but hey, can still have surgery. Hope you are all doing well!!

My date is also May 22. I can't wait! I only have to be on preop liquids for 24 hours prior. I don't think I could do much longer! Good luck to everyone!

I just received my date of May 23. My preop testing is May 15. So far I haven't been told of when or if I have to the liquid diet. I have been looking for good liquid foods for after the sugery. It doesn't seem to be real. 12 days and counting.....:welldoneclap:
