8 days and countingggg.

As it nears the last of this long haul (not even that long actually, I'm just impatient!) I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to buy pre-surgery or maybe how to prepare at home? I'm trying to busy myself with anything and everything to keep my mind off of it since it makes the time drag- but its so hard! 

For those of you who don't know I am having RNY on March 16th and while I'm not super nervous, I have these tiny flare ups where I get a little rattled. 

So far on my shopping list I have chewable multis, chewable calcium citrate+vit d, milk of magnesia, gas x, liquid adult tylenol, i have protein, 1 oz medicine cups, infant sippers (thanks Jessica! haha), and that's really it. Am I missing anything?

food journal is a good idea... maybe some crystal light packets to add to water.. itll help you mix it up a ltite when youre trying to get all your H2O in.  The Sippy cups are a LIFE SAVER hahah you feel a little dumb but it really helps to make sure you take small sips. Good luck with everything! surgery day will be here before you know it and youre going to do great! cant wait until you join us on the losers bench, girl! :)

 I second Courtney's sippy cup suggestion!!!! I used them pre-op to "teach" myself to sip and even though they told me not to use them post op (due to sucking in air??) I still did. They are awesome!!!  bought the cheap ones from Walmart and now am "recycling" them buy using the cup part for my 4 year old neice when she's over!!! 

Food journaling is great. I did it pre-op during my 2 week diet and then started up again when I start mushies and still continue to do it!

8 days are gonna fly by like crazy Priscilla!! Best to you!! 

 7 days for you... and 8 days for me! It's coming so soon!! HURRY! :)

we're so close!

 I am also buying a food journal so I can write down EVERYTHING I eat so if I stall or something I can show my dietician and she can tell me what I did wrong!
