PreOp Diet tips or encouragement
I'm with ya on the pre-op! It STINKS!!!! The first two days for me were hard! The second day was the worst, and I was on the verge of chewing my arm off!!!!!! By the 3rd day, I felt totally different, in a good way! I guess it took my mind a couple of days to catch up with what I was doing! Of course it doesn't help being a holiday weekend, but we gotta do it! Just think how hott we will be by Christmas!! I'm praying for all of us & know we will do great!!!! Kim

September Sleevers Celebrate!
Glad you are starting to feel some better!!! I have heard walking is the best thing for the gas, but of course that would be hard to do when you feel like crap!!!! My surgery is Friday! I'm trying to prepare myself for the pain, but IDK if there is really a way to!! It does help talking to y'all!!! Does the gas-x help at all???

SOOO glad that part is over!!!!
Well.....I told the family yesterday!!!! Like most of you said, it went better than I thought. The initial reaction I got from them was exactly what I thought it would be , but then they listened and for the most part are on board. We had some tears, and there is a lot of concern, but they are supportive. I feel like a 1,000 pounds have been lifted off of me!!! Thank you all for the encouraging words!!! :tongue_smilie:

eek! Tomorrow!
You are going to do great! I will be praying for peace for you!!
