Biggest piece of advice I have so far.... Im 11 days post op, and whatever you do... DONT SCRATCH the incisions! I couldnt help it, they are healing fast but its hot and im sweaty and the anti-itch cream doesnt help much, so im really scared that they might get infected cause they are swollen and bumpy. Please be cautious everyone!!

My surgery will be this coming Tuesday, July 23rd.

Anybody feel like they are nesting (like before you have a kid)?

Yesterday I woke up early, washed bedding, washed & folded 5 loads of laundry, vacuumed, laid new carpet, moved furniture, assembled a new bed, went shopping, cleaned 2 bathrooms...today I'm emptying out all kitchen cabinets, wiping out & reorganizing them. We remodeled are kitchen last winter, and for some odd reason, I decided now was a good time to move everything to where I want it. 2 days til surgery. It would be nice if I had this much energy after.

Me too. I had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to nausea and liquid intake. I'm feeling fine now just the usually pulling feeling at the belly button. Have my sofa all ready for me to sleep on. Kinda hard to get in and out of my bed. Congrats!!!

I begin my pre- op diet tomorrow (all liquids) and the citrate of magnesium at 2 p.m. I have a friend going with me to the hospital because she has already been through this. I'm feeling awkward about telling my family. My kids are all out of town.
