Ya'll ready for next week?!?
I'm the 12th, so I've still got plenty of time for "food funerals." My doc's pre-op diet is very straightforward (liquids day before that's it), so I've got a bit more time.
I also had my pre-op class on 6/27 and boy after that was I ever adding to my to do list. (Best thing I learned: when explaining to someone RNY graphically, describe it as reducing the size of the stomach from a 2L bottle size down to an egg! Made my DH's eyebrow**** the ceiling.)
So, of course, after class I did what every anal-retentive, detail-oriented, posting-at-4:30 am nutjob would do:
I went to Walmart and cleaned them out of 8 oz juice box holders and thermal coffee cups and itty-bitty Rubbermaid containers, checked out prices on vitamins, and even bought myself a new nightgown and robe for the hospital! (The robe of course doesn't fit around these gargantuan hips of mine, but my DH says, give it a couple of weeks after surgery and it will . I LOVE that man!) Sure enough I was walking out of the store reviewing my receipt and saw the date--and promptly FREAKED--when I realized I was having surgery in 2 weeks. Today's the lawyer's office for the living will paperwork and tomorrow? Cleaning the bathrooms and eatin' Chinese, I hope, and --may my checkbook forgive me--heading to Sam's Club .
I am SO ready to ROCK--if my creaky knees and hips could handle it, I'd be for joy I'm so @#!!^$ pumped.
ALL the best to everybody!
