Mines October 9th! Can’t wait!

October 10th!!!

My date is 10/1 and the time is flying by! I have most everything gathered up & packed. Very excited!

Hi twin for 10/1! You are so much more prepared than me:). My job has just been crazy lately and can barely get sleep in it seems. Can you share what your prep looks like so it could save me some time?

Oct 9th!

I'm October 1st. Wow, time has flown by. I started my self pay journey back in April and thought October 1st would never get here. Now, I have spent most of my time reading books, work books, YouTube videos, and mostly this forum for wisdom and insight for my upcoming journey.

OMG!!! I just ran out of coffee. I need to purge from caffeine and I start my pre op diet on the 24th. So, I have purchased some bulk organic black tea and caffeine free green tea. I will be mixing for the next few days until I get to Decaf status to avoid and "withdrawal" from caffeine. I don't drink much coffee, usually 2 or maybe 3 cups. However, my body may beg to differ with my summation of the caffeine debate. I am starting to pack as well. Oh yes...I am one of "those" people. Always way early and always prepared.

Well better go count my Q tips again (for the 30th time).

I went online to the BariatricPal Store and bought 1 packet oc Chicken Bouillon , Beef Bouillon and a sample of the LuiquaCel Protein Squeezies. Today I was Just at Fred Meyer and found another brand of Beef and chicken Broth and bought some of those as well. I'm not buying too many of anything as many contributors to this forum have talked about how much their taste changed after surgery.

I'm just taste testing these during my prep diet. I may buy more to have here when I get back home. I'm also testing how quickly my shipment gets here from BariatricPal store.

Right now is my packing dilemma! I have my jammies, but what else do I take? Crazy...right?

I have my surgery on 10/1. I just started my prep diet this morning. I've already made my basic clothing selections based on the weather forecast for Mexico. I'm just flat excited to get this journey underway!!!!!!!!!!

October 16th for me. One more week until pre-op diet. Getting nervous ?

10/23! feels like forever away.

I'm Oct 23rd too!!! Woohoo!!

Yes, see you there!! I’m so glad I will recognize someone when I get down there. I’m going by myself so this is reassuring. I’m flying down Tuesday morning so maybe you will go first?

When I scheduled my surgery back in May, they said I was first on the schedule. I thought they told me I was first on the schedule, but I may be mistaken. I was told that when I get there they will check me right into the hospital. So, I guess that’s a good thing. I’m going alone as well. My husband feels reassured that I will have a cohort to be with in the hospital.

Don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited right now. I have packed and repacked several times. The weather is supposed to be in the high 70’s low 80’s all week while we are there.

I’m really glad we will be there together.
