Pre-op yesterday- 4 days and counting.

I have surgery in 4 days!!!! It is becoming so real to me now. I was scared before, but yesterday did ease my mind quite a bit.

HW:404.8

CW: 369.1

35.7 lbs down so far!

This weekend I plan on spending time with friends (who are more supportive than my family apparently), cleaning my house in preparation for surgery as I want to be as comfortable as I can be, and packing my hospital bag. I cannot wait!!! :D :D :D

Does anyone have any recommendations of must-haves for the hospital? I will be bringing CPAP, comfy clothes, heating pad, brushes and toothbrushes, toiletries... anything else?

@@TAJ718 I definitely was! I had my surgery on 10/31.. Was so nervous and then after was in a lot of pain. But now i feel great. Still trying to get Protein in which is a struggle.

@@birdie bird Thank you! it is tough though. it still is. I go for my 3 week post op in one week and I still have trouble with the liquid. It definitely isn't easy. I hope you figured it out though! have you had your surgery yet? If not, good luck!!
