SecondThoughts

I'm laying in my hotel bed waiting for the alarm to go off. My surgery is in 4 hours. Man, I'm hungry!
Trying not to think about what's coming too much. I'm afraid I'll talk myself out of things.
Prayers and warm thoughts are appreciated.

Christina - My surgery is the same day. I'll check in with you, so please post after.

Thanks for this! I'm having my surgery next week and haven't even thought about what I need to take. I guess I should buckle down, ha!

Hi Christina. Welcome to the boards! We are glad to have you join us here. Congratulations on your surgery. I hear this is an exciting journey. I am still waiting til the 6th to find out that for myself.
The people here are amazing! Any time you feel lost, lonely, scared, happy, sad, etc. Everyone here is more than welcome to do what they can to make others feel relieved, better, and cheerful. I have never seen a more friendly forum that has this many supportive people.
I also want to wish you the best of luck during your surgery. I hope its goes smoothly and you have a speedy recovery. Keep us updated as soon as you are able. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Again congrats for finding the forum, and I look forward to following your experience.

Keep some payaya enzyme around to help with those times - it helps "unblock the plumbing" according to my Dr. It really does settle your stomach if you have something that is just lying there.

Today at lunch, without a thought in my head or a care in the world, I snarfled down the remainder of my daughter's McDonald's fries. I was watching her play and not thinking at all. When I reached for another fry and found the box empty, I literally bonked myself in the head in the middle of the restaurant! ARGH!
I didn't slime (shocking!) but that was at 12:30 pm today and I am still feeling the discomfort 8 hours later. Had half a protein shake for dinner and will be back to liquids tomorrow to calm my poor little sleeve down.
Just thought I'd share that complete DOH! moment with y'all for a bit of accountability. Old habits lie in wait for when we aren't paying attention!

So I'm trying to make I don't forget anything I may need at the hospital since I live 2 hours away and I don't want any company its not like if I forget something I can run get it. I'm not sure if I'm forgetting anything important or not so every body help me out. Maybe my list will help you too. O.k I have tooth paste/tooth Brush, pillow and snuggie, panties/socks x2, 1 change of clothes for the ride home, p.j pants/robe for walking the halls, also slippers, deo, hair brush, shampoo and conditioner if you are like me you will want to shower, chap sticks for the dry lips after surgery, my meds just incase they need them, cell phone charger, and gas x strips. Heard they are much needed after the surgery. Please let me know if I'm missing anything or if I'm over board. Lol thanks sleeve friends.
