That's great news Diane!  At least you won't have extra time to dwell on the future!  I agree, the pre-op diet was tough.  It's amazing how it's just the opposite after surgery and we're not hungry at all. 
Looking forward to your updates!

Topic: My date's been moved up!
YIKES!! I can't believe it they moved it to next Thursday, the 24th!! I must say I am pretty happy about that, I hate this pre-op diet, I don't like to be hungry....that's what got me in this predicament!  LOL I'm kidding....sorta....anyway, everything is in high gear, my pre-op appt. is next Monday, then I'll work two days and head up to G.F. on Wednesday night. 
Look out here I come!!

TTFN,

Diane

Topic: RE: I got a DATE!!

CONGRATS!! That is just WONDERFUL news!! You are so on your way! That 2 weeks will just FLY by!

 I took every thing but the kitchen sink to the hospital lol. I used almost none of it. I would make sure you have a comfy outfit to drive home in. VERY LOOSE around the waist. A pillow to hold against your tummy. ( This was a life saver ). For me that was about all I used. The 3 days I was there (ok part of Monday, all of Tuesday, part of Wed) I was out of it and just trying to get functioning enough to get home. As for the hair. I just stuck it in a pony tail and wished for the best. Last thing I had on my mind was how I looked lol. Not sure about the perm this close to surgery. Might call Dr. Martins office and make sure on that before you do it. Chemicals and all. 

 Best wishes to you!!! Its a heck of a ride but worth every bump I promise!!

Have a WONDERFUL day!

Topic: I got a DATE!!

Monday morning I   to my surgeon's office and I got my tentative date of July 29th!!!

I am very happy she kept me on that date,  TWO weeks!!  So, I'm starting pre-op diet today.  I had a big T-bone steak for dinner last night! It was delicious!! oh, and I had cheesecake too! Just steak and cheesecake, there's a well balanced meal for ya! maybe this is why I need this..hmm....??  

Anyway...I have ?????     What do I need to take to the hospital?

                                              What do I do with my hair ?   I know that question may be a little weird but that's me.  Right now, I have to mousse my hair then I let it air dry, then when it's dry I bru**** and spray it, so it's not flying away and I have this very annoying cowlick right over my forehead so if I don't spray it, it hangs right down in front of my face.  I HATE THAT!   So, I'm thinking of doing a cut and a perm this Friday. What do you think?
