I know lol. Its crazy how close people can get to each other without even having met yet. I think it's great!

I'm sorry the gas pains are showing their ugly faces what all did they have you do after you showed up to admissions?

Ashley, how are you feeling lovely? Did everything go good?!

So surgery is in 30 hours and I just got most of my bag packed and ready to go. I have these things: *CPap *chapstick *deodorant *travel sized toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, my biotene, and soap) *eye mask, small Dove lotion tin *A change of panties *hairbrush and pony tail holders I plan on leaving in the clothes I come in with. All in all, i have a small Supernatural backpack that I've fit everything in surprisingly lol except the CPAP lol some of the stuff I'm taking is the same stuff I leave in there anyway lol. I use it as a purse so it can serve 2 purposes. Anything I need, I need to fit in it. Way less **** to keep up with. Oh and my travel pillow will be waiting for me in the car anyone else got anything to add to this?

To all of our family that recently had surgery, I hope you all are having good recoveries and to those with surgery coming up, you got this!!! All of the fear and doubt with dissipate. I'm finally to a point of acceptance of what is to come.

So I'm still preop until Wednesday but my aunt did this years ago. I noticed that certain places we ate at would have healthy options (grilled chicken and broccoli/green beans. Etc) she would pick something healthy and would indulge in conversations as she ate to keep from eating too fast or too much. Weddings could be a bit trickier though because I know that's an occasion where cake is a centerpiece. Omg btw Chik fil a has grilled chicken nugget meals that you can get veggies with. That's my fav thing lol

Welcome love!!! You will find a lot of friends here!

So I literally just noticed on my paperwork that my liquid diet was only supposed to be 10 days lmao. Surgery is Wednesday and I will be at day 15 lol. My goodness. I could have had one last piece of cheese cake jk lol

That's what our nutritionist told us. She said anything over 120 grams is pushing your kidneys too hard and can cause kidney failure or damage.

Welcome lovely!!! I know it seems surreal!

Welcome to our beautiful, dysfunctional family love!!!

Bone broth made my life so much better lol

I'm on the liquid diet until my surgery Wednesday. The first 4-5 days sucked so bad for me but now I'm used to it. Idk if you're allowed to have caffeine on your diet but I can. I've cut down on it quite a bit but still drink a little when I get super tired. Sugar free energy drinks are life for me right now lol

I had to. It sucked but I managed. I vape a 0 mg juice now because the hand to mouth motion is a tough one to break. You can do this!!

I sure hope so only 7 days left!!!! Yayyyyy y'all

So you're having yours the 19th too?! Yay we really are surgery twins lol. This liquid diet is so blah at this point. My kids had cheeseburgers for dinner and I almost fell over dead. I just kept drinking my sad cup of bone broth lol

You get 5 shakes a day? I only get 3 but I've been doing 3 shakes, a cup of bone broth, and sf popsicles or jello if things get tough. I havent weighed myself so I'm not sure how much I've lost.

Tomorrow is the big day for you!!!

It's getting close for you love!!! Are you excited

How are you feeling love? How did it go?

Girl yes. If I'm freaking out while they're prepping me I'm going to ask them to give me something to calm me down. The last thing I want to ruin that day for me is my anxiety

I bet you didnt sleep a wink last night lol. I'm so excited for you love! Make sure to update us as soon as you feel up to it.

So I have 8 days until surgery and it's starting to feel sooooo real. Im nervous, excited, happy, and terrified all rolled into one big ball of nerves. This liquid diet is way easier than I expected it to be though so that makes a difference.

How is everyone feeling?
