Aww do you have your bag packed? I know many say chapstick, extension cord, charger and a pillow for drive home in car.

Thanks you guys. Nana I'm not packed. But I will make sure I have those items. I think I will leave my pillow in the car. That way my husband won't forget it. Aside from those items...I really don't need anything else. I can wear the same clothes I went there in when I leave cuz I have to be there at 5am. They kept stressing for me to bring good walking shoes....what's up with that?? I know I have to walk...but who's gonna want to be bending over and tying shoes when you are in pain in the tummy.

Pammy what is your pre op like?

Welcome Jazzzy!!!

Nana and Pam...chin up on the pre op diet. It's definitely a road that prepares you for the future. My struggle was never really bad till yesterday. Then I wanted to crunch something. Boy I looked all over my kitchen to see if I could find something that wouldn't be that bad. No luck. Everything here would have epic failure written all over it.
