Well today is the last day of my old life. Although I'm allowed a meal today (lunch only), I'm doing liquids all day long. My husband and son are going to do Protein shakes with me today. They are so sweet.

I go in at 9:30 tomorrow morning. So in a little more than 24 hrs, I'll be on the other side.

I don't even have my bag packed yet....LOL I figure that will give me something to do today to focus on. Also going to get my fridge organized and all my stuff in one area, so it's easier for my hubby to find for me if needed. I have all my other things in one area on the counter.

I ordered my chewable Vitamins, Calcium and B-12 last night, so it should be here by Wednesday.

Doing the last bit of laundry today, clean sheets on the bed and spending time with my son. Will make phone calls to my parents, my daughter and older son as well. (I have 3 kids, son 26, daughter 25,and son 7).

My husband has his list of people to call for me after surgery.....so I think I'm about ready.

How about you?

I'm thinking about and praying for all of you. You will do fine! Keep us posted.

I hear ya about talking to your stomach LOL and boy does it talk back lol... the things keeping me sane are those popsicles and Jello lol not sure how I am going to make it 12 and 1/2 hrs without anything at all on Wednesday morning lol guess I will sleep late.

Ha! Most likely you will be too nervous to eat anyway! I know I have always been before surgeries. I have to do clear liquids all day wednesday. Thank goodness I get to work all week before surgery. I've been off this past week during my liquid diet and it has made it more difficult! You got this honey! Hang in there!!

My surgery is Wednesday- I think I am ready. I fly out tomorrow from Kentucky to San Diego. Then Tuesday morning I am off to Mexicali. I've got a supply of crystal light, lap stop and Nook ready to go. Been doing laundy today, had a cook out with my family tonight and ate a big steak, knowing I will never be able to eat another one the same way ever again. But it is okay, I am ready for a change. I've been real emotional the last two days, but I've heard thats normal. My biggest fear is leaving my 8 and 9 year old for a week. We have never been that far away from them for that long before. I think once I hit Mexico the anxiety about the surgery itself will hit me. But this decision just feels right! My thoughts and prayers will be with everyone else having surgery this week!! Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing later this week. Cathi
