May 30 was the day before the big day. As mentioned in the nutrition post, I was to follow a "full liquid" diet this day to not put much more into my intestines.
I was able to work from home this day and my husband had a day off. On his days off, he teaches ukulele lessons, so the house had people in and out all day which was great to break up the day. Our pastor also stopped by.
For food that I ate that day, I basically followed the liver shrink diet with a protein shake for dinner instead of a somewhat normal meal.
As I got ready for bed, I had specific instructions. I was to take a normal shower, then not apply any lotions or powders, then wait two hours, and wipe my arms, neck, and torso in a specific fashion using wipes provided at my pre-op. I was also to clean my belly button out with a cotton swab.
My instructions were also to sleep on clean sheets and wearing clean clothes this night as well. And, without pets in the room, which both kitties were NOT happy about. We had kicked them out a few nights earlier to make it less traumatic for us.
Then, I slept. Probably better than my husband.
