Hang in there Mom, you can do it! Since the first week of April, I have done liquid off and on for a total of about 4 weeks - and found out at my pre-op appointment today that I have lost 17 pounds! I have to do two days of clear on the 10th and 11th, and take the dreaded Magnesium Citrate on the 11th, but that's all that is required of me from here on out!

What got me through this was sheer determination and will to have this surgery - think about it this way - if you DON'T do the liquid, they WON'T do your surgery - so keep at it!!! *hugs*

Best of luck Nana! Yikes! I'd be scared to death of oversleeping if I had to leave at 2am to get to the hospital...I'd probably just stay up all night, lol.

Default Can't sleep

So it is 3:40AM...I am up, haven't been able to sleep at all, and I am really nervous. My surgery is at 1:00PM today. I need to leave my house around 9AM and I just keep staring at the clock. I assume this is normal...but holy crap a watched clock goes really slow.

Even though I am freaking out, I am happy knowing I am going into this with a great deal of knowledge about what is to come. So I want to thank all of you faithful posters that have taught me so much.

Now scoot over I am going to need some room on the losers bench!
