MONDAY IS THE DAY!!!!!

Monday is the day. I am excited, never before have I wanted to rush the weekend along!

I have been reading allot of posts and watching you tube video.

I have everything ready except my bag for the hospital.

I heard some ppl say that a c section is worse in pain and recovery than vgs, i hope this is true because I had no issues with my c section or my tubal a few years ago.

Just wanted to share what I am feeling! Thanks for listening.

How awesome! I can imagine your excitement and nervousness all combined! Will be looking forward to updates and seeing well things went for you. I am glad to hear the c-section remark. I had a horrible time recovering from mine and know that if I can survive that? I'm golden! LOL

You are ushering in August for us! YAY!!

I have heard the same about the c-section and hoping it's true!

BigSexxy we will be Sleeve Sisters! :D What time do you have to be at the hospital? Do they have wifi in your room? Hubby and I will leave at 7:30am in order to be in KC at 10:00. Get checked in...preop..and surgery at 12noon. 1-2 hours in recovery and then back in room for an overnight stay in the hospital. I will have WiFi so I (or my hubby) will post updates. Started my clear liquids today. I will be thinking of you!

Have you heard the c section thing also? I truly hope it's true, but even if it's not this will be worth it cause I hate not being able to be as active as I would like to with my son.

Funny you say nervous.........I'm not nervous and I think it's because my daddy has to have bypass on 8/11 so I think I'm so focused on getting myself ready to be here for my family It hasn't set in. I hope I'm not a mess on monday morning!

Good luck tomorrow. I pray everything goes well and your recovery is easy.

BigSexxy,

What are your preop instructions? Mine is 2 day of clear but I started this afternoon cuz like where you are it's just so dang hot!:o I take my bowl prep on Sunday afternoon. I had the doc write out my pain and blood thinner scripts so I could pick them up while I was in Kansas City this week. I had the Pharmacy add flavoring to the lortab liquid. I hope I can get it down. LOL. I have Protein samples,Isopure liquid, broths I got from trader joes grocery and just need to get SF popsicles tomorrow. I am taking off about 2 weeks.

Have your written out your "12 reasons I am doing this" list so if we are in pain and are says WTH?! we can remind ourselves why we are putting ourself thru this?:D I am glad the work week is over so I can concentrate on me and all my sleeve sisters for August!

i have been on a post op diet for a month, lean cuisines and Protein shakes 5-6 small meals a day, I can eat up until midnight tonight then npo. I am doing carnation instant Breakfast (sugar free).

I made a list but i called it the things i won't miss about being 100+ lbs.

I am a federal employee and have been on furlough for a month so that is one plus i have no set time to be back to work. however my father is having open heart in a few weeks so i am praying all goes well and that i have no complications so i can help out with his recovery.
