Well I did my pre-shopping this morning. Gas-x check, G2 check, crystal light check and so on........my bag is packed and I do have my chapstick handy. Also charging my ipod and kindle devices.

I have been fairly calm and not too anxious,. This morning I had a flash of me walking into the surg suite and my stomach dropped a few feet. It must be trying to wrap around my spine and hang on for dear life! Poor thing, sorry buddy its almost time to part with most of you.

I just finished cooking lasagna and other dinners to freeze for DH. And turns out I was not tempted by it at all. I think I have come to terms with my future.

Good luck to my fellow aug 5th sleevers. We aren't alone. I will try to keep updated.

Oh yeah I also took a couple before pictures.......lets just say I will wait to post them till I look a hell of alot better!!!!! LOL

This exactly how I'm feeling; "come to terms with my future". I haven't packed, not real sure I'm going to do any packing. I have crystal light, chapstick, gas-x, and travel toothpaste/brush in my purse. I'm going to wear home what I wear to the hospital and as long as I have my phone I've got all the entertainment I might want. All I will be carrying extra is a pillow to use as abdominal support as I get up and down. Good luck and remember to walk and sip, walk and sip. Just a short while and we will all be on the other side.

Ok. So sitting in the surgery pr-op prep room and not so calm and accepting. Pray God and his angels are with my and mu surgeon.

I had my surgery aug 5 and I felt awesome until I got home lol
