They gave me this weird bottle of soap to use.

I am afraid to use it' date=' I have very sensitive skin and I know it's going to make me break out. They want me to use it the night before and the morning of surgery.

Ugh. :unsure:

And thanks for the tip MaryMitchell .. That sounds good. They said the time isn't official and they will call the day before to tell me. I HOPE it gets changed![/quote']

Don't use the soap in "special" areas ;-) it will not be a very comfortable situation for you if you already have sensitive skin :-)

LOL.. Yea, they kept telling me no private areas.

They told me to mainly focus on the area of surgery.

Its a antiseptic soap.

They gave me a cleanser to use. Told me to try it on my arm that day and if I was sensitive to it to buy a bar of dial soap and use that instead.

Woo hoo I made it! Doing really well, been walking aNd the meds are doing their job. Wasn't really too nervous beforehand, which surprised me because I had never had surgery before and tend to be a worrier anyways. I think that the past eight months of worrying and researching and educating myself lead me into today with a clear head mowing that I had made the right decision. I'm probably rambling. I wish Kathy, olive reindeer, and chatman who all had surgery today the best. How are you guys doting?

...knowing not mowing...autocorrect.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
