  1. My surgery is the 12th ! I was told to bring as little as possible, they have gowns, and if I need 2 , to use as a housecoat they will supply it. (Beautiful , I am sure!). lol Good luck , safe surgery and speedy recovery . God Bless
  2. I am on my liquid diet ( surgery next Tuesday) and yesterday was hard... I actually cooked and had the celebration at my home .We had about 25 people and each one brought a dish each looked better and smelled better than I remembered . I had a shake and I never let go of my water bottle , I drank 80 ozs , in 3 hours. But I had a great time visiting and watching the kids run and play. I too am wondering what will I do instead of eating , but my mind says there has to be a better way , we each need to find it for ourselves! ( but I am open to any ideas!!) Congrats on your sleeve cant wait to be there ! Live each day as it may be our last.God Bless and wishing you a speedy recovery.
