T minus 2, Surgery is Monday!
Tess, I just had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Here's a bit of info for ya from what I have learned...
Be patient with yourself. You are learning all over again how to eat/drink.
If it hurts...take pain meds.
Walking is VERY good. It won't hurt as much as you think, but it will tire you out!
When you are back home, you will feel like you are being lazy because your ambition may be much more than your body allows. Trust your body.
Heal...sleep, drink so you are not weak. It will not take very long and you will be able to reach the required liquid amounts. Allow time to heal. Pushing HURTS, so don't push yourself too hard . Be gentle.
Hope this all helps some how. I pray you do well and that the surgery is quick and easy.
Blessings to you, hon!

Thank you every one for your encouragement and kind words. I'm just finishing laundry so both boys will have clean clothes for the week and DH and MIL won't have to worry about it. Getting ready to start my "prep", oh joy! I've chosen to just think of it as an inconvenient additional weight loss! I'll take what I can get.
I have to be up no later than 3am to shower and make it to the hospital by 5am. Will be happy when it's done (maybe more so 2 wks from now!)
So move over ladies and gentlemen on the losers bench, I'm gonna be putting my big ole' butt on it too!
