TMI it made my period come after it just ended 1.5 weeks Tonight i'm lucky i have my last support meeting before surgery which is awesome hopefully it helps destress me but i doubt it i have a husband that is awesome and is more stress then me. i been trying to play joe cool around him so he does not get anymore stressed out lol I been ok for most part very lucky i did not have to do Optifast so it is clear fluids starting saturdaytomorrow i will make my jello and start freezing soup brothers so i can just grab it and cook up the portion i need. did not really plan dinner for hubby and boys next week lol so i will have to get on that one and premake.. 

Any finial thoughts and what i should have at hospital that i will def NEED.. Going to be having it done at st joes in Hamilton

I know how you feel. I'm having surgery on Friday.

if you don't mind me asking how come you didn't have to do optifast? I can't wait til I'm done with it tomorrow night.

all the best to you

Thanks best of luck for you as well :) I did not have to do Opti because my liver and all that are a normal size lol they did not tell me this at first at first it was like they told me they had a deal if i help them with a study i would not have to take the Opti when i jumped at the chance and said yes they lol and said i can back out if i want but i did not have to take it anyways because my inside of my body is perfect my organs everything but i still agreed to the study becuase these dr's are giving me my life back a little study is lease i could do i do not get paid but i get free parking for surgery and my other appointments that i have to hand in my study for

That's awesome, good for you. Optifast isn't that bad,but I'm glad tomorrow is my last day.

i wish you all the best on Monday.

Good luck to you!!!  Hope you have a speedy recovery!! 

Let us know how it goes!! 

Congratulations to you both on your upcoming surgery! Way to go on pre-planning your meals for yourself ... I had lots of soup on-hand as well as even pureed some chicken and beef for the freezer when I went to pureed foods.  For me it was all about the planning, I needed to make it easy on myself and I live alone.

As for what to bring to the hospital (TWH)... I brought too much! I brought my cell phone, tablet as well as the chargers, a book, a nightie and housecoat and slippers  .... all I used were the slippers and the cell phone to call my family lol. They gave me another hospital gown to put on backwards as a housecoat ... it worked perfectly fine.  I was only there two nights,  I just needed my toothbrush/toothpaste, brush/comb, etc.,  my cpap machine, something loose to go home in as well as a pillow to travel home with (place that against your tummy as it helps with the bumpy roads).  I didn't shower at the hospital ... it wasn't that necessary as I still felt human. I had a great roomie and we were always walking the halls when we were up as that helps with the gas and healing.  I wish I had of taken a small roller bag rather than a soft sided carry bag ... just for ease of use.

Remember to sip, sip, walk, walk and make music (aka fart) lol . Best of luck!!!!

Thanks i'm so on cloud nine my head is way up there too because i look for things can not find it and my kid finds it right in front of me lol Thanks smart idea i rather use their gowns and chance blood getting on them then mine :) Can not wait seems like forever to get here and now time is flying by I know I'm beyond excited for this to all take place I'm like a kid on christmas eve right now wanting to get my present lol

Congratulations you two.  Good luck and happy healing

Thank You very much :) 

You'll do great.  For me bringing earplugs to the hospital helped me get some rest.  There are always noises and they come in and check through the night so earplugs were what really helped, but also a sleep mask if you are bothered by light.
