What will you do now?

I'll do that , thanks! $3.13, wow what a deal!

Well I read everyones list and I too am making a list, well trying to LOL. It's on my mind anyway. But I have started stocking up on bottled water and Flinstone vitamins and a multi-vitamin with iron, insure all different flavors (thank god my insurance pays for it), decafinated tea, carnation instant breakfastes, splenda, sugar free jello. Now I have to get my list going, I want to bring a table fan with me, I have night sweats so bad and if it's hot in my room I want to be comfortable, slippers, nightgowns, underware, brush, toothpaste, toothbrush, deoderant, bathrobe (if I could find one that won't be to hot to wear), a few books and I think that's about it. If anyone thinks I've forgotten anything please let me know. I also read that some of you are going to sleep in a recliner, may I ask why? I have a HUGE one would I be more comfortable there? One more thing, the sryrup you ladies talked about, what is that? Thanks for reminding me what I still have to do, LOL Cheri

Cheri, This is what they look like. They are flavoring for coffee mostly but you can use them in tons of things. I would put them in cream cheese when i was on low carb. Mix them in tea etc. Take a look at the web site for recipes on how to use them. As for your list don't forget chap-stick or carmex for dry lips, you'll be sure to have them after surgery. http://www.davincigourmet.com/729.html?flashdetect=YES

Cheri - I'm having open surgery. From most other post ops I've talked to, it was really hard getting comfortable in their bed - so they slept in the recliner. Lucky for you to have one already!! I don't, but we're getting one from my husband's company for a great price so I don't feel too bad. Lots of luck to you. Sharon

Is it possible for you to forward me a copy of the word document? Thank you Nancy

Hi. My surgery is July 19. A couple of things I haven't seen mentioned: Tongs to use in the restroom to get to those hard to reach places. A small fan for the hospital in case the room is too warm. I've got to remember that lip moisturizer! My mouth is always so dry after surgery. I wish each of you well with your upcoming surgery. Lisa J.

What a good topic! Well, my initial surgery date came and went. So did my second and third dates. I have made my lists and have bought supplies that I needed. I did all of this before my first surgery date. My date now is July the 14th (I hope this one sticks!!!). Yes, what do I do now? I have around 38 days to go. I am drinking more water. Trying to walk more. I am jumping through the hoops. But mostly, I am twiddling my thumbs! I was so excited before the first date, that I gave away most of my clothes. Now I am searching for anything to wear. Jumped the gun there. Congratulations everybody on their date!
