I am one day before surgery and my second day into "clear liquid" diet. I still do not know what time my surgery is scheduled. I find it disappointing that the doctors office is not more considerate about these types of things. They should understand that patients are anxious and need information to calm their fears. Instead they just tell us that they will call the day before or if we do not hear from them by 3:00 p.m. to call the office. I thing they should let the patient know as soon as possible instead of this "wait and see" attitude.
The liquid diet is distracting and uncomfortable. I keep forgetting and think, " I will have some lunch" and then I remember........oh yeah, jello or broth? I am at the point now that juice, jello, and broth are a bit nauseating. I think it is better today (so far) than is was yesterday. It's just that achy feeling in my stomach is uncomfortable and I have a bit of a headache. If Ron eats anything in front of me today I might eat him! He has been good and banishing himself to the other room when he eats.
The first week will continue to be liquids but I do not think it will bother me as much as I should not "feel" hungry. I am sure I will smell something and think it sounds good to eat but I will have to deal with that when I come to it.
I am touched by all the well wishes and prayers. I have heard from all of my family and everyone at work was sweet. I am ready to get on with everything. It seems I have been waiting so long. Well, I have actually been ready since May.
Well, here's looking forward to feeling better, living longer, being healthier!!!
