But also want those who will be having surgery with me at the same time to chat...

Well good morning ladies!! Today we start our liquid diet...YUM!!! Not lol....

Well... Liquid diet not so bad, but staying away from any and all food. I don't want to forget and mess up[emoji4]

Lol...so far so good....protien has been filling me up...

Are you allowed yogurt? Or soup? I am allowed today but not tomorrow, but I might just only drink protein shakes

I am allowed yogurt,pudding, cream soups, cottage cheese etc....

Awesome, sounds like the same as me!

Tomorrow i havw a full day to keep me busy...after 8pm i am NPO...so at that time going over my friends house...shes going to braid my hair. I have very long lair down almost to my waist and it always gets in the way...and dont want to have to deal with it.

Great idea on braiding your hair! How much did you have to lose before surgery? I have lost almost 20lbs. I hope to be at 245lbs or below on day of surgery.

They wanted me to lose atleast 10lbs...i lost 15...so im excited and nervous we are having a major snow storm so they says 3-6 inches now...ugh...i will pack my bag tomorrow too...

How is everyone doing today? I still need to pack too, but not going to take a lot with me.

So far so good...watching a movie in bed...just has some tomato Soup...

Here is my bag:

Mints

hair brush (just in case)

1 Underwear

1 bra

Phone/charger

Mini spoon/sippie cup

Socks

chap stick

Biking shorts or yoga pants (only cause i hear it feels good to have some pressure on ur belly)

Pillow to hug if i need to cough

Neck pillow

Cpap machine

Im coming home in what i wear their...which is a sweatshirt and sneakers

Thats it..all fits in a small beach bag.

@ilovevsg-Susie - do you what the cause of death was for the lady in your support group? Was it directly related to surgery or did she have other complications? I'm also having surgery tomorrow morning at Kaiser in The Bay Area.

I'm sorry to hear of anyone losing their life from surgery.

Ladies not sure how much sleep i will get tonight if any....im around...but just wanted to share a prayer for us all for tomorrow....

Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed, I may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around me. Through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Into your hands, I commend my body and my soul. Amen.
