Just got home from the hospital. A 5 night stay as opposed to the 2 day that was promised. Just wanted to update everyone who has wished me well. Speak to your surgeons about nausea and what can be done to avoid it.5 unbearable days in the hospital has me regretting this. Best of luck to those of you heading towards the lovers bench...

The time has come. Restless night...so excited. I'm awake 3 hours early but I'm so ready for this day. Surgery at 7:40am Pacific Standard time. A new life awaits me...!

Oh and get some gas x strips...I hear they help A LOT with the gas pains

All packed Chrissy! I don't have little ones at home so I have it easier than you. If you lived closer I'd come clean your house for you I've been nesting all weekend. Laundry, scrubbing floors, changing linens etc...can you believe it's tomorrow??

Chrissy72w! We're tomorrow! We got ghis! Are you prepared? House clean? Bag packed?

I did the same thing! My surgery is tomorrow and my house us sparkling! I love cleaning so it made it easy. I cleared the walkways too, just to make it simple getting to and from the bathroom/kitchen.

I'm tomorrow! Go get em everyone!

Thanks Ms Becka! You're doing great too I'm nervous too...I think this is normal...let's keep our eye on the prize (thinner thighs)

2 more days until my surgery. Up until this very moment I thought I was prepared but now I'm not so sure. Feeling anxious. Had my pre op appt. on friday. I've lost a total of 47.5 lbs prior to my surgery (I started the pre op diet on January 1st so that my new eating habits would be just that...A habit). Haven't eaten any sugar, bad carbs, fast food, caffeine or alcohol since then. My doc said no liquid diet is necessary and the nurse asked me if I'd talk at one of their seminars. They were both shocked (and happy) with the amount of pre op weight I've lost. I guess I just feel kind of alone in this...I've worn this body Armore for so long, not sure what to expect when it's gone. Tell me my concerns are normal? I'm really freaking out right now...

I'm August 5th too! It's all I think about too...hoping I'm well enough prepared. Let's be surgery buddies? We can text each other for support

August 5th here! Cleaning the house today in preparation...did a food haul yesterday and went crazy in Daiso! If anyone else is obsessed with cute little containers, things that are asian inspired, and all things PINK! You MUST get to a Daiso near you. I do believe I'm completely prepared for the 5th... Holy c*ap! 9 days away!!

hang in there Jessicavtec1... One day at a time...

Thank you VSGAnn! Yeah, I thought if I gave up all sugar, fast food, carbs, soda and alcohol during my 6 month medically supervised diet, then it wouldn't be so difficult after the surgery... 9 days to go!! So excited!

Thank you...I have my daughter coming over to help me for the first few days after I get home from the hospital. I am going to clean the house the weekend prior, do the laundry and prep my kitchen. I still can't believe it's only 10 days away! Thanks for your input...you've all been my saving grace

Great advice...thank you so much for responding
