I’m starting to get nervous! Only 2 more sleeps.
Happy and sad right now, they canceled my face to face surgery twin’s op because of a mix up with her meds and her selected surgery. So the docs office manager just called and told me they moved my time to her spot, so I will be reporting at 8am tomorrow for 10 am surgery instead of 12:30pm for 3pm. I’m so sad for her right now.
It's sad but at least they caught that discrepancy on time. Its major surgery and you want her to be good to go. You will do just fine. Prayers help alot. And to be honest with you I was so excited to be having it that I wasn't even nervous. You will do great! And so will she[emoji6] [emoji120]

Dont be. You dont want to raise your blood pressure. Trust in your choice, trust in your surgeon and his staff that all will be good because it will. Just listen to meditation music to keep your mind clear. You will be in good hands[emoji120]
I turn to the soundscapes music choice on my Spectrum Cable. Just listen to the music, close your eyes and let the music flow over you like a warm soothing stream. zrekax your fists, relax your toes and Judy sit. Works for me almost every time.

Home and doing well guys
I had my surgery on the 21st. Down 14 lbs from surgery day
Hey everyone I made it through surgery. The 1st two days were rough, but I’m feeling much better now. I was supposed to go home yesterday but because I haven’t been drinking enough fluids I was made to stay another day. I’m working harder today to get enough liquids in.

CONGRATULATIONS on making it through surgery [emoji120] . Now the real journey begins. Stay focused. Do your walking every two hours but also remember to get rest so that you heal properly.

Congrats to you. Take it slow, slow small sips and you will get the fluids down. Like @NewBodySoon says get your walking in and make sure to rest. You got this!
