Getting nervous!!!

Ok folks...Thursday is the day and I am getting really nervous. Not to mention that I am hungry .....my doc took me off my diuretic and gave me tons of fluid to drink...not sure why. Did anyone else have to eat/drink anything special before surgery?

I was on a high protein, low fat diet for 2 weeks before surgery. I also didn't have to do a bowl prep (thank goodness). Each doctor is different in what they have the patients do. I would imagine he's giving you tons of fluid to drink to wash your colon out in preparation for the surgery. Good luck on Thursday and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Best of luck on Thursday Charity! I will keep you in my prayers that all goes well and you have a speedy recovery! Shawn M.

I had to eat only full liquids two days before and clear liquids only one day before. I was able to decide if I wanted to do a bowel prep and I did it. I figured it would cleanse my system out before changing to my new life. Good luck, I am one week out and have lost 16.6 lbs according to my scale.

Dear Charity,     Best wishes and good luck! It is normal to be nervous; but trust me all of us have been where you are! It will definately be worth it. Best wishes to your speedy recovery. Sincerely, Judy R

Hi Charity, I just had surgery May 4th, and feel great! Honestly I was very scared, but it was not bad at all. I did not have much pain in the hosital. Make sure you rest when you get home and take you pain meds they will help the first few days home. I will pray for you! Faith

its almost thursday!  yea for you!  the nervousness pales in comparison to the new life you will have.......just stay focused on the goal that you will be feeling better and that life will improve so much..........hugs and good luck, rae
