Go get your hair and nails done before surgery! One less thing you need to worry about! I'm getting mine done too but getting clear polish on my fingers and toes because I was told no polish too. They look at your nails to make sure you get your color back after surgery! (They don't do it so you don't feel pretty! There's a reason! Lol) My surgery is this Friday the 11th and I'm more anxious than nervous! I'm on my 9th day on the pre op liquid diet and I haven't died (or killed my kids) so I'm doing good!! Lmao I'm hungry and my stomach talks to me A LOT but it's not as bad as I thought! A few people have mentioned items that I need to bring for my hospital stay but I'm curious if anyone that had it recently wished they had something they didn't bring!! Any help here would be appreciated!! So far this is my list: Comfy PJs Slippers & socks Extra panties & panty liners (Someone mentioned you may need these for urine spillage, I'm not taking any chances!!) lol Pillow Hot Water pad Gas X strips iPad/phone/chargers Toothbrush & paste books Lotion Brush and/or comb Dry Shampoo Skin care (I have rosacea!) (I sell Rodan and Fields, best skin care EVER!!) www.amykring.myrandf.com/shop If I missed anything, please let me know!! I have been considering this surgery for YEARS but I was too afraid to do it because I am a single mom and if my kids had to go live with their dad they would never forgive me!!! I finally decided to do it because they DO need me to be here for THEIR kids and God willing, their grand kids!! I want to have the life I know now I deserve!! For too long I have put myself on the back burner and lived for my kids! Time for me to love me!!! I'm so glad there are others like me who because of LIFE happening we forgot to LIVE!! Go us!! I'm really proud of all of us for putting ourselves FIRST and good luck and prayers to EVERYONE healing from and preparing for surgery!! DO NOT let ANYONE tell you this is "the easy way out" because there is NOTHING EASY about any of this! I'm just glad to have the support provided here!! Have a WONDERFUL day!! (:

Like you I've lived for everyone else for years. Time to take care of and love me and without feeling guilty! Congratulations on your decision and journey. Here's to happier, healthier lives!!!! *hugs*

I am on day 5 of liquid diet. After day two it has not been so bad, I was expecting way worse. But I still have two more days till surgery in Wednesday. I am using pure Protein Powder with unsweetened almond milk. I don't like the premixed ones. I had egg drop Soup. chicken broth, Tomato Soup. Cream of broccoli and creamy Tomato drinkable Soups and drinkable yogurt. And Water all day long.

Is anyone else grumpy on the pre-op diet? Just wondering....it might just be me being a little overwhelmed with trying to get everything in place for my surgery but it's like my emotions are a little all over the place. I'm usually not like this. Weird....

      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.
