OK, The Countdown is on
Hi Everyone! I hope you all have a GREAT weekend! I am getting ready for my surgery on Sept 8th and I'm just waiting for the call from the hospital to tell me what time to be there! I havent been toooo nervous yet, I'm stressed out about leaving work and covering all my bases and making sure I get everything done!! I know this weekend will be the test!! A few of my Co-workers are taking me out for drinks today after work, so I'm looking forward to that. They have been a great support to me!!
I have learned so much from you guys and thank you for sharing your experiences! I of course would love more advice on how to prepare for my new adventure! I do have an Angel who said she would post when I am out of surgery and all that fun stuff! Thanks JoJo!!
I cant wait to get on that bench! Its so hard to believe its actually happening!
Ok, have a great day everyone and wish me luck!!
Hugs!

you really just need some good comfy clothes and pajamas for the hospital,
well and your toiletries. I did not read watch tv or anything i was too tired and busy walking,.
bring a pillow for the drive home to hold against your stomach for the bumps in the car.
That is all I can think of.
Wishing you tons of sucess

You are going to do great! And I promise to have a big piece of chocolate cake at your bedside. (For your BF not you!) LOL
Still waiting to hear your surgery time! You haven't called yet!
Relax, enjoy your evening with your co-workers, and have a good weekend! I love ya and am SOOOO excited for you. Maybe you will end up being the poster child for RNY in south central PA (ha ha ha.....inside joke!)

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Marlo,
You'll be on the bench in no time!! Whoo hoo!! The best advice is the baiscs: sip sip walk walk walk and BREATHE all that walkng and breathing is what I credit healing so well. Do what the docs tell you to do - they tell it to you for a reason.
Don't get stressed out early on about protein goals - they will come with time. Same with fluids - but you have to really try on the fluid thing and remind yourself to keep sipping.
We'll be here waiting for you - enjoy your weekend!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
