I'm ready for the big day! I'm the first surgery of the day on Monday at 7:30am, arriving at the hospital at 5:30am! Mom is SUPER excited about that, haha! Today is my last day of Protein shakes pre-surgery; tomorrow I am on Clear liquids only (broth, popsicles, fruit juice, etc). Still doing daily exercise (I even JOGGED for part of my walk this morning...I haven't jogged since I was forced to in high school P.E.) and humming along! Yesterday I had a 2.5-hour pre-op class at my hospital just to confirm everything and go over post-op instructions, as well as get my EKG & chest x-ray.

Can't wait to DO THIS! Good luck to my fellow 8/19ers!

I am scheduled for surgery at 10:15am Monday I have to be there 8:45am chk in...I have been on liquid diet for 2wks they didn't tell me anything different but I can't have anything to drink or eat after midnight before. Can't wait!!!
