8 days till i'm a princess
my LAVH was rescheduled (AGAIN) back to its original date, which is 8 days away! i thought it was going to be at the end of the month, and suddenly i am panicked because i have to get ready and i'm NOT! I'm literally sitting her sweating. I keep sweating thru my shirts! this weekend i plan to cook all weekend and freeze stuff for us to eat, so my food shop list is HUGE. I need new slippers, a lightweight robe, some new big jammie bottoms, a hair band, and a cordless phone. How am I going to do all this in 8 days, and still work too??? I thought i still had weeks. and i have butterflies, immediately after i got the call from my dr. will i have these all week???? i'm stressing about drinking the go-lightly stuff, they have to hurry up and schedule my pre-op again, i guess for like right now, it has to be done this week!!!!! sorry to vent but i'm a wreck! my dh is freaking out b/c he keeps having to tell at work that he is changing his schedule and he's yelling at me. this i don't need! i want my mommy and she can't come!!!!! someone calm me down, please. this morning i picked up the coffee carafe and wondered how much it weighed, in case it will be too heavy after surgery! i'm insane!!!!!!!!

Oh sweetie, start with taking a nice deep breath and try to calm down. Stress won't help you at all. First of all - I thought that you could use one of those right now
Let the dr's staff take care of doing the pre op scheduling, it's their job. You just need to show up for it. Second, don't kill yourself cooking. Just do what you can - you're only human afterall. Ask friends, neighbors, and family for help when you need it. I had several people bring home cooked meals after my hyst. You can also rely on take out ( some even have delivery ) and frozem meals ( some are actually pretty good ).
I managed the coffee carafe - coffee being my middle name I think that it's under the weight restriction. If it isn't make less at a time - I couldn't tolerate more than a small cup at a time right after my surgery anyway.
The Golitely is not fun but it can be done! Keep it cold and drink it as quickly as possible, sipping it made it worse for me. And keep a clear path to the potty. Have lots of soft wipes handy.
Best wishes.

8 days till i'm a princess
We are both scheduled for the same date... Find something to distract yourself. I was obsessing over it last week, but then this past weekend went on a 36 hour round trip drive to a wedding with some church friends. It was exhausting, but I hardly thought of the upcoming hyst at all. Lucky you, having a LAVH. You won't have the big incision to worry about. You are going to be just fine...and I bet your hubby is just upset, and doesn't mean to take it out on you. Men can be such wusses...
Anyway, a big
Don't worry about cooking...just take care of yourself.

8 days till i'm a princess
thanks for the support. i think i'd go insane without this site. i can't really rely on family because they are all 6 hours away, which is why i'm trying to freeze all the meals. i will be calmer if i've got food in the freezer, i guess. as for the coffee, can i have it right away after i get home????

Hi, I can't answer about the coffee - your dr will control what you do and don't get after surgery. I was allowed a cup the morning after my surgery. You should also get a list of do's and don't for home.
