Surgery is Monday. I'm going to the grocery store today or tomorrow to get stuff. What should I get? What helped you? What did you like? I know about chicken broth, Jello, gas strips. Anything else? Also...what did you take with you on the day of the surgery? Blanket? Candle? Can I play some Sinatra?

Thank you everyone for all the awesome comments! I love hearing all your stories! I am a pretty quiet person so this makes me feel so much better hearing how you handled this adventure. I did end up telling my sister last night, and she was so happy for me. She said she thinks that this will be a good push for us to get our parents healthier and get some clean cooking in the house! I really appreciate everyone sharing with me!!

Thank you for all the comments!! It's really nice reading everything ya'll have to say!

So how is eveyone feeling? Everyone doing good? What are some things that helped you the first few days after surgery?

So how many days did you end up taking off?? I only took 2. Sounds silly now hearing how many other people took.

LOL @ 2muchfun! OMG every body?!?!?

Who did you tell about your surgery? I haven't really talked about this to anyone yet. My mom is driving me on Monday, so she knows....but that's about it. I wanna tell my work best friend, since we sit next to each other, eat together, and talk all day long. Just not sure....

Thanks JaGo! I wish you the best of luck getting back on track!!! I'll let you know how I'm feeling next week and it will remind you of how far along you have come!!

Scheduled for 10/20, scared and excited....1,000,000,000,000 questions. I love reading everyones stories and tips.
