pre op

May 15, 2011

Im 2 days from surgery now.  I had my PreOp Class a few days ago and I got all my instructions and meds for after surgery.  I met a girl who will become my Surgery Sister.  Its nice to have someone going through the same thing as me and at the same time.  She has already been much more successful than me on Pre Op diet.  Dr. put me on 3 shakes a day for 4 days and today I start the bowel prep with the magnesium citrate and I am to do 2 days of clear liquids only.  That stuff is like drinking puke!  Hopefully the day of surgery i may have lost 5-10 pounds.  Thats what the Dr wants me to do anyways.  Im super excited!!  I had a bad couple of days, but I think now that I have started the clear liquids its hitting me how near I am to this.  Hopefully the family will sorta stay clear of me today and not eat or drink too much around me.  I bought them some heat and eat stuff so I dont have to cook for the next couple of days.  That should control some of my bitchiness since I hate walking into the kitchen.  I have had several phone calls and emails of people offering me support.  It really is nice to hear when people are rooting for u.  Sometimes I think people believe in me more than I believe in myself. Well, here I go. 2 days.  Peace Im out!
