It seems like it has taken forever to get here but here I am! September 3rd! I leave at 4:00 a.m. for the hospital. Excited. A wee bit nervous and I haven't slept a wink. Instead I have been cleaning my house! LOL But I wanted to thank all of you for joining me on this journey and participating in this post. I have met some fantastic people along the way. Thank you for that!!!! I will see you all on the other side! <3 <3 <3

hard to believe since I first posted here that I am 6 days away from the "big" day! liquid diet in full effect! getting super excited! All of you have been great and I can't wait to see you all on the other side!

I am the 3rd too! Don't be stressed about those meds! My guess is you wont need them for very long!!!

Natalie it is coming! And will be here before you know it! But I will be honest the anxiety has me jumping out of my skin! hahahaha

Congratulations!!!

Hoping you are feeling better tomorrow! Hang in there!

Fantastic news!!! Congratulations to you!! woo-hoooooooooooo!!! My date is the 3rd as well, yes complications can happen but I am a big believer that knowledge is power too. Deep breaths.

But we are right here too! if you aren't already in (and if you are I apologize, hard to keep track these days) but there is a September Sleevers FB group.

Shudder! Prepping chicken, beef and fish stocks for the clear liquids phase, Will freeze in muffin tins then pop out and bad so that they stack. When I can add stuff I will run them through a nutribullet with oritein and veg so that they are smooth. Now a thai red curry I would do...but not a madras or roganjosh! or a lemongrass coconut milk base broth. Yum! You should join our FB group! Message me your email and I can add you!

Welcome! You could always make a curry broth. That is if you like curry.

Welcome and thanks for joining our little thread! We also have a FB group if you or anyone else is interested. As far as advice goes read A LOT and then read more. Watch youtube, there are so many videos out there. Here are a few of the people I subscribe to: Clusie L (someone else mentioned her too), Mellie May, Finding Elizabeth, Laura VSGtube, Tina Russell, 1gorgeousgodzilla, K star and there are others. I watch a lot of videos. Think of your jitters as jitters of excitement! Your life will change if you let it. That's the whole point isn't it?
