I pack my lunch for work.  Thin sliced bread (homemade at least) with one piece of deli turkey and dijon mustard, carrot sticks, a fruit and maybe some cottage cheese.  Everyone else is eating pizza, wings, italian, chinese and chocolate!  Gah...I can do it, I can do it!!!

I have some jolly ranchers at home that I am going to stick in my pocket for work.  If Im gonna need to have something sweet those are probably the best best.  Better than grabbing a candy bar.  I work in a school so the kiddies are always bringing me in cookies, cupcakes all kinds of stuff.  Lol...I can do this, I can do this!

Talk to you soon =)

Hey!

Yes I've heard chapstick too - and I always have that with me anyway... I'm addicted. 

I was thinking of bringing my laptop to do some stuff/games online but then the hospital told me to not bring valuable items just in case, so even my wedding ring is staying home, so I might just do books. 

I think I'm going to go to Wally world and find some big sweatpants with a draw string, I have some comfy pants but they're comfy now, I don't know how they'll feel with a sore tummy so I might want some bigger stuff... we'll see.

Less than 2 weeks!

Mine is also the 2nd,  I'm getting so scared for the actual surgery, I've never had surgery so it's all new.  I'm so excited tho to get this all done and over with! 


I'm not on any pre-op diet.  I was told to just eat high protein and low carb, I almost wish I was on a strict diet, next week I'm really going to try for more of a liquid diet.

Good Luck!

My surgery is March 3 and I just started my liquid diet also. Yes, it's killing me.  On my first day of the diet my boss bought pizza so I sat there drinking my protein drink while smelling pizza half the day.   I am more excited than anything right now.  I am guessing that I will start to get nervous the day before or about the time I walk into the hospital.

Hi Justine :)
I think I'm going to pack pretty light. I keep hearing to bring Chapstick, so I'll make sure to have that.  I'm going to wear in/wear home the same outfit. I'm going for comfort only- like sweats and a tshirt.
I'm going to bring a bathrobe, but if you wanted you could just wear a second gown backwards to keep you covered on walks down the hall. Hmm...other than that, maybe makeup, toothbrush, lotion oh! and reading materials.
I'm interested to hear what others are bringing.

Hello Everyone,
Surgery is less that 2 weeks away.  Getting a bit nervous, excited and a whole host of other feelings.  Two week diet is happening also.  That is a killer! 
How is everyone else doing?

Hi Cristi, we've got the same date. Barring any unforseen cir****tances (reschedules etc...) we've got 39 days to go.

Wow. :)
