Good luck tomorrow!I have to be at the hospital at 9:30 but have no clue what time I will actually be called back. Fingers crossed everything goes well!

Thanks so much ladies! Every bit of encouragement certainly helps

The closer it gets the scarier it seems. But I've been keeping myself busy, doing laundry, cleaning house, taking the dog to the park. What ever I can do to keep my brain and body busy seems to be helping. Good luck on Thursday and your new beginning! Keep me updated on your progress!

I've been researching and planning for this day for a year and a half. My brain can not possibly retain any more information. I'm lucky that my husband is supportive (though terrified) and my parents are so proud of me. I've been nothing but super excited until about an hour ago. The nerves are starting to creep in. I had a brief "Oh my God what am I about to do" moment that quickly passed. I think I'm mostly dreading the whole hospital stay. I know its only one night and it will pass fairly quickly and I guess if I have to be nervous about anything, why not my very first hospital stay?

Hang in there! Thoughts and prayers your way!

Soy vanilla latte's are dreamy! Try it, you won't regret it.

Thanks so much for the info! I hadn't thought to look at Whole Foods for protein powder but I definitely will when I do this weeks grocery shopping. I'll also check out the brands you've mentioned. Thanks again!

I am awaiting insurance approval and in the meantime have been doing research on the pre- op and post- op diet. I have an allergy to sugar substitutes and was wondering if anyone is in the same boat and may have some suggestions on protein shakes.
