The weekend went by so quickly. I just hope the next 41.5 hours go by just as quickly.

The baby shower and birthday party went well. I can't wait till I get to meet my new niece!!! I hope she isn't born while we are gone to get the surgery.

My last meal before the preop clear liquid diet for 3 days was left over sub sandwich(we had so much left from the baby shower) and guacamole.

The first two days on the preop clear liquid diet have not been bad at all. My stomach really rumbled the first day at lunch but I keep drinking my Crystal Light and it has been so bad. Broth has left something to desire but I am sure I will be wishing I had some broth after surgery.

This will be my last blog post until after the surgery as we will be leaving tomorrow night(8/13) for surgery on 8/14. The drive is about 4.5 hours or so and we have to be at the hospital to AM admissions by 8:30am.

My has band has been a bit of a grump...He always tends to get that way when he is anxious or scared about something. I know he is more anxious because he actually won't be able to be at the surgery.

My biggest yikes for the past couple of days is now my son (2year old) has strep throat. I am praying that I don't get it before we leave to surgery, because that would be a disaster since we have to travel so far to get to the surgery.

I am still very excited and nervous at the same time. So far, things haven't quite hit me yet, maybe because I am looking forward to the journey ahead and put the tiredness behind me...

Here is hoping to new me!!! :frown:

thats fast! We'll be here waiting your news :frown:

I hope all goes well for you!!!
