Great news - and you don't have long to wait either now!!

I'm sure if you have questions those who are on the other side will help out.

I know I using the posts to find out as much as possible and preparing myself - theres quite a few which help out with tips of things to take with you, and prep you can do at home.

Amongst other things I for one am:

Clearing out all 'bad' foods from the house

Making some Soups for the full liquids stage of the post op

Making sure hubby has easy cook food in place

Going to do a full house clean before the op, so I don't have to worry afterwards for a while

Have cleared out all my larger clothes which are too big... I won't need them again

Find a good book to pack for the hospital

Am trying to get into the small mouthful thing now.... and trying not to drink with meals.

Hope this helps and good luck for the 12th
