4 more days!!!

Oh my gosh, I am getting very nervous! I learned I am first on the boards Monday morning... then off to the losers bench. I am still equal parts excited and terrified! One question for you post ops... is "bowel prep" day a total loss, do I need to have everything ready or can some of the lighter household things get done that day? Keke

I would like to know the anwer to that one. I have had a bowel prep before but this one is different. I threw up on the other one and I was wondering if it would be the same.

Congrats!!! How exciting! I'm already excited and I don't have a date yet. I can only imagine what it must feel like to be a few days away.  Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

I know all the feelings you are going through.... I am sure all will go fine and you will be on the loser's bench very soon.... I can't answer your question about the bowel prep because I didn't have to do one with the surgeon I used... I wish you the best of luck on Monday and will keep you in my prayers for a safe and successful surgery and for a speedy recovery.... HUGS,

My Dr. gave us a bowel prep that started at 5:00 the eve before surgery. It was something I drank and it was mixed with crystal light. It was not bad at all, but I wouldn't want to wonder to far away from your bathroom area. Wishing you all the best, colleen

hey there... how are things going??? since i have an upcoming date and we have the same doc.... can ya clue me in to what i am looking at as far as this bowel prep thing goes??  how are ya doing and have you weighed yet?

hi Kandy.........I am doing pretty darn good except I am so sick and tired of this kind of food.  I just know there is an end to this soon. I just have to  keep reminding myself that. The prep was not as bad as I thought it would be. I had to do a prep for a colonoscopy a few years ago and it was the pitts. This prep was did not taste bad and that is half the battle. I little hint...use vasaline on your hinny and it will save you some grief later. Today there was a luncheon that I had to go to at Bob Evans and all I could eat was the broth in the veg. soup. It was hard. Well talk with ya later, colleen
