Today's the big day!

[InProgress 3]

So I had some stuff to do at work this morning and I passed by Starbucks and every single parking spot was open. Man, what even a sip of a nonfat iced chai latte would have done for my day...

Anyway, I can't believe this day is finally here! In January when I started this process I was sure it never would and now it's just all so surreal. Last week I was at the beach and Friday I left Myrtle at 5 a.m., got home by 2 p.m., ran in to the office for 3 hours, unpacked and repacked the car and drove to Pittsburgh (another 5+ hours) and spent my 2 days of Clear liquids at the softball fields. Don't think I didn't contemplate whether watered down nacho cheese or cheeseburger grease was a "clear liquid". At one point I saw goldfish on the ground and made a mental note in case it got really bad. Seriously, though I'm hungry but it's not debilitating. I had powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup both days, lots of Water and some sugar free Jell-O. After I walked like a bajilliondy miles around the touristy part of P-Burgh Saturday night my hubby ran in to Applebee's by our hotel and bought me a french onion Soup (sans bread and cheese) which I strained for dinner. Of course, that meant I sat in the car with a bag full of Taco Bell takeout on my lap while he was in there for 20 minutes. Oh well, it just made it taste that much better.

So anyway, I will post later when I get out of surgery. My surgeon requires me to stay in the hospital until Wednesday but my hubby refuses to let me take a laptop until he thinks I can "handle it responsibly" (too much work on vacation I guess). At any rate, I'll have my phone so I'll let you all know what's up. I covet all of your prayers today for myself and the other 5 (that I know of) who are getting sleeved today. I need to close for now so I can leave the office and get to the hospital. Thanks for everything, guys. You're the best!

Thanks all! IV is in, butt is naked, guess that means it's just about time.

You'll be fine, and when in doubt, I think your sense of humor will save your life! Good luck to you!

Lol @ nacho cheese and cheeseburger grease! Good luck today for an easy surgery and a speedy recovery!!

[InProgress 3]

So having the electricity go off twice at the hospital is normal, right? Lol. If they cancel this surgery I'm probably gonna cry.

with your sense of humor, you will be fine. Lots of prayers and healing angels to you :angel: . Hopefully no nausea and low pain!!! Good Luck.

Hopefully the power is on and you are in surgery right now. I've prayed too. Talk to you when you can do that 'responsibly'.
