Ke-sa I'm with you. Just got finished cleaning the house like a crazy lady and an finishing up the laundry now. Then it's dropping the kids to my mom and back home to pack!

Tomorrow is clear liquids only as well, so I'm not doing anything except existing!

Lets see. Nice a lip butter, carmax, blister or petroleum jelly. Lol. I will bring a variety

My surgery is 7/7, what's a surgery buddy

A surgery buddy is someone having it about the same time u are that can relate to what u are going thru.....a surgery friend.

I am a July 8th surgery date. And I am very nervous about it. I'm older [68] and I wonder if I am going to be able to break all these old habits of mine. I want to succeed and finally get my self healthy. I only have to do 1 day of clear liquids on Monday, so I know I can handle that. But I am ready to get moving and get on with my new life. I would love to be a buddy to anyone who wants to follow my story. Hopefully I can give some valuable info. on my daily experiences. Either way, good luck to you all and I will be watching for your up date.

You can be my surgery buddy as well. I am 37 yr old married momma of 6....4 at home still.... and my surgery is the 15th. :)
