good luck to all of you having surgery tomorrow.

Only 6 more days . Wow...arent you excited? Sending prayers your way for a smooth surgery!! Good luck!

Wow, lots of replies about c-sections being easier- YEAH!!  My surgeon required me to lose 10 pounds before surgery.  I started a self imposed LD on 11/2, but it quickly morphed into a high protein, 1000 calorie a day diet, which has helped me to lose 11 pounds.  I should be able to lose a bit more before surgery, I hope.

Glad to see all the people with dates close to mine. That will be nice sharing the journey and comparing notes with you guys.

Welcome home. Best wishes for an easy recovery.

thanks. I was very excited. I guess my surgeon is more comfortable with open and he's quick at it. It took an hour and  5 minutes from the time they called my hubby saying they were about to start and the time the dr walked out to the waiting room to talk to my hubby (so it actually took less LOL). they told me before hand it usually takes about 45 min. My suregeon will also do lap, and I thought he was going to until my pre-op appt, but I was ok with it when he told me. phase 2 for me is full liquids as well. My puree will start on sat.
