5 days till liquid diet startup!
Apr 19, 2011
So I haven't shared too much about myself here yet but one thing I should share is that I am seriously addicted to Pepsi as the surgery approaches I know I need to give it up. But it's seriously hard. I am only having one today. (I am drinking it right now) I am fine with every other thing but this one has been tough.
On another note I am still feeling like a scaredy cat. It is just such an unknown as to how it will feel pain wise etc. I have had a lot of surgery. I have had a breast reduction and a c-section so hopefully it won't be anymore painful than those because I made it through them. I get to have it laproscopic so hopefully that will be even better.
I am also concerned with getting my house in order. With four boys its gets disorganized sooo quickly. But I will have lots of time on my hands after surgery as well so maybe I should save up those projects till afterwards.
Lastly I am just concerned with making sure I get all my eating figured out for after the surgery the pre op stuff is pretty spelled out but after two weeks post op your kind of left to figure it out on your own. Hopefully I will be able to find a system that works good getting in all the essentials.

Nursing and Nutrition Appointment today
Apr 18, 2011
I had on last class today on the nutritional portion of the surgery and what to expect from the nursing perspective side of things. I was really afraid of the NG tube but several members here made me feel sooo much better. I am looking forward to the surgery results but nervous about getting there. I have had four kiddos you'd think pain would be a non issue but I am nervous about it. I also have a very hard time with nausea and meds to prevent it so I am praying that will all go smoothly and that if I am nauseous it will be managed okay. The last time they gave me nausea meds in the ER I had an anxeity attack and they said I was allergic to most of them. God is in control I am clinging to that today and trying to be strong and keep pushing forward to be healthy for my hubby and babies
