Tonight's the last time I'll be able to post before surgery! We are headed up that way right after work tomorrow and I'll be in surgery Wednesday about noonish!

I'm really nervous and excited! Part of me feels like "yea it's finally here!" but the other part of me is "jeez, it's actually here."

Any last words of advice would be great?!?!?!

I know what you mean - it's exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time. I am sure everything will go well, let us know, when you can, how you are doing.....Congratulations!!

Herb Ox is from Wyler's. It's their version of broth and what you'll get after surgery at WeightWise. You can also buy it from them for $5 a box.

Ahhh, I was wondering about that. I bought some boullion the other day and I loaded up on Propel (which I had not had but tried today and really like), Diet V8 Splash, SF Jello, and of course water. What did they tell you about pain meds after. I tried to find the Tylenol Go tabs, but not had a lot of luck. I did get liquid Tylenol but nurse Amy said I might not get to use that because of sugar content.

You'll get a prescription for liquid Lortab and it tastes nasty but is effective. I didn't have to use it very much at all. All in all, it was a good ride. Looking back, I would say that it was all pretty easy for me and I hope it will be for you too!

I'm gonna go fluff your pillows on the Loser's Bench now. Your place will be all ready for you!

I'm excited for you!
