SO...amazingly...it IS getting easier! I definitely couldn't imagine me even thinking this on Monday! hahaha...All I could think about was eating something...anything! hahaha...

I feel good today! I'm down 4.2 lbs this morning since Sunday! I suppose that helps too...when every time I step on the scale, it is going in the southern direction! hahah :tt2: At least I'm seeing some progress immediately. I'm happy with 4lbs...I can't wait to see how I am with 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.!!

Anyway, surgery is on Tuesday (the 10th!). Any suggestions as far as what to bring to the hospital? The nurse at pre-op said that I should wear comfy clothes...b/c those would be the clothes that I'd be going home in. No jewelry, no cell phones...

Anything else that I need?

Anyway, I'll be cleaning this weekend...making sure that everything is all set for my return on the 11th. I'm going to have all of my laundry washed, my bedsheets cleaned, all of the dishes done, etc. I purchased some containers of Nectar, so they are scheduled to arrive on the 10th. I'll make sure I have plenty of popscicles and chicken stock in the house! I'll make sure I have plenty of Gas-X strips too. I want to be set for the week, at least...even though I have the second week off as well.

Anyway...any suggestions to make this upcoming week a little easier would be great!

I can't wait to join you all in Band Land! :smile:
