You all need to make sure you get your fluids in EVERYDAY!!! I'm dehydrated right now and it sucks. Drink your Water, hot tea, Gatorade, broth...whatever it is that you like...just make sure, every time you sit down, stand up, commercial, break time....you take a drink.

Mindi....

This is soooo important after surgery too!!! I struggled and basically surgeon told me nothing else matters if u cant get water in!!!! Good luck!!!

Pammy and nana you can and will do this. These few weeks from before surgery to about week 4 post op are the hardest. U will battle head hunger but embrace those moments and learn what your triggers are. U will both do great and remember if you need anything just ask!

Mindi I've been thinking about you all day. I'm freaking out with you, lol. Thanks for the post about drinking lots of Water. I hope you can drink lots to after your surgery. Was it because of your pre op diet do they think?

I didn't drink enough Water. I used to drink a lot while I was eating. So when I couldn't eat....then I just didn't think much about drinking. I need to retrain my brain very quickly.

My surgery is at 7:00am. I have to be at the hospital at 5:00am. Yay me. My husband is used to getting up early but I'm not. No matter...I've been kinda grumpy today...I'm sure it's because I can't have anything of substance tonight. But oofdah I'm I witchy itch. I'm going to get in my shower and use the nasty soap they gave me...then hit the pillow. Thank you all for prayers and thoughts. I'm very thankful to have you all.
