  1. I have 6 days left until surgery and I have not done everything I wanted/needed to do. I am a slacker. My husband was also briefly in the hospital so I get a few points but still.
     
    I wanted to clean my house top to bottom. Something about recouping in a clean house appeals to me. Maybe I can get this done this weekend.
     
    I wanted to finish transfering a bunch of my movies to my iTouch so I have many to watch in the hospital. I have slacked on this. I best get busy tonight burning and transfering.
     
    I don't have my liquid vitamins. :tongue_smilie: GNC is a stop for me tonight. I also have not done my clear liquids grocery shopping and I clears on Monday.
     
    I am not packed for the 3 days in the hospital. Not much packing but I should have an idea of what to take.
     
    What else? I am sure there will be all kinds of stuff I think of as I am walking out the door for surgery.
     
    I did do one thing.........it was the most important thing but also the most soul searching moment I have had since I decided to have this surgery. I updated my will.
  2. 1 day

    I am one day out! Drinking my umm errr laxitive right now. It is nasty but oh well. Have not ate anything since Sunday night and not feeling very hungry.
     
    I do have anxiety but I have meds for it so really I am doing great.
     
    Ask for meds!!! lol
  3. 2 days, really?

    What a mess I am this morning. Crying, crying and more crying and I don't want to drink my clear juice (super duper berry blaster). I want my decaff Starbucks non fat latte.
     
    Not much more to say. I am filled with anxiety but excited too. Humm. I keep thinking of skinny clothes and hiking trips. Soon, very soon.
  4. Almost one clears

    What a day. I think I am ready!!! I got everything done that I wanted and had a fantastic last meal of my famous homade mac and cheese tonight. I thought I would stuff myself but I didn't. It was a good feeling.
     
    I am going to miss my morning protein shake though :tongue_smilie: I am sure by the afternoon I will be missing much more.
     
    Feelings right now? I am ready. Scared because my husband will not be able to be as supportive as he thought because of some health problems as a result of non weight loss surgery but it is all good. I am strong. I can do this on my own.
  5. :crying: :tongue_smilie: :crying: :eek: :cool: :scared0: :crying: :sad0: Did I mention :eek: ?
     
    *Liquid vitamins, done.
    *Movies uploaded, done.
    *I have stuff out to pack for the hospital so almost done.
    *I am going clears shopping today so that part is almost done.
    *House cleaned? I am going to get the kids on it here in a few hours. Ahhh slave labor so I will count that as almost done.
    *Ahhkkk I need new books. Add that to the list.
