1 Hr 30 Min until I report for surgery!

Good morning! It is 7 AM and I am getting ready to report to the hospital.

I am not nervous at all! I started this process last Nov./Dec. so I am definitely ready. I feel so prepared. I will be recuperating at my mom's house until the weekend. I have several new pairs of pjs that I bought (i love crisp and cute pjs) things fr my clear liquids and full liquids. If I could just get off of LBT and go take a shower. Good thing it takes me about 10 min to get to the hospital... I'll be checking in from my iphone so I can post but won't be able to input my beloved smileys

    It's the morning of day four and things feel better. I am not in as much pain or as gassy. I am actually at the hair salon. I was kinda worried about coming this morning. But I blended some roasted corn chowder and packed it away in my cute pink metal Stanley thermos. I also have some v8 splash. That should keep me satisfied until I get home. I know that I am not getting enough Protein. That's probably why I am so hungry. I am going to work on that today. I have several mixes that I am going to try out. Ttyl.

    Btw. I am thinking about starting a blog. Any suggestions? I know lexy has a fierce one!
