FDclerical 318 Posted November 4, 2012 i am so excited anxious and scared. november 6th here. just washed all the clothes and folded everything. cleaned rearranged my daughters room. my mom will be with her with the two nights i am in the hospital. im really sad and emotional thinking about her and if she will be sad without me. i love her so much and it will be hard to be away from her but i am excited! ive been prepping her for surgery and explaining how she cant touch mommys belly lol i went to Walmart tonight and racked up!!! luckily my Protein Shakes (they changed the packaging for the atkins) now you can get 6 for 5.78 of the vanilla instead of 4 (strawberry). i spent about 70 dollars. i kept forgetting i have to buy food for my daughter lol! but i did pretty good. i feel good. i got my hibiclens to wash, my Calcium citrates and my Vitamins. im really ready. monday is my birthday and im working a full day. the hospital is supposed to call me between 1-5pm to give me my surgery TIME! they called me on friday to pre register. that felt good and made it feel more real. sigh. im so scared of the pain afterwards but i had a c section so i think i can handle it. i cant wait to see everyones responses and i hope we all have a safe and smooth surgery. praying for all on this thread and November sleevers!!!! 1 Mz.Smurf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My350z06 48 Posted November 4, 2012 I'm ready for the 5th. I was fortunate enough not yo have to go on a pre-op diet so I have been living life as normal. I live 10 mins from the hospital and have purchases everything possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fazekasr 30 Posted November 4, 2012 I have my Isopure Water in the garage keeping it cool, and will be going to the gym today while the family bakes Cookies to avoid the temptation. Only slipped once out of the two weeks. Still need to get a couple items for the hospital. So glad the 6th is almost here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoCo41 54 Posted November 4, 2012 Hi ! Are you drinking enough Protein ? I get to have sugar free Jello and do use it if i get a bit hungry before my next shake . I try to not watch tv and that helps.....Are you going to post from the hospital to let us know how you are? Do you know how many days you will stay there? Thank for responding ! I don't think I am , I am suppose to drink 5 Protein shakes and can't seem to find one I like enough to drink it. I do plan on posting from the hospital I am taking my laptop. For my Dr he normally has us do a two day stay in the hospital after surgery. So I will definitely keep you updated on my progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crooker 20 Posted November 4, 2012 I'm having my surgery on Wednesday, November 7. I am worried my liver hasn't shrunk. I have been on my pre-op diet for two weeks and have lost 12 pounds. Wishing all good luck with their surgery this week. 1 Savedbyamazinggrace reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey's Mom 7 Posted November 4, 2012 November 5th for me!! Nervous as heck. I am almost packed, have all the liquids I will need for the first week post op. I even enlisted my hubby and son to help rearrange our family room in an attempt to trick my mind into understanding that: "HEY, this room is different....NO MORE MINDLESS SNACKING HAPPENS IN HERE IN FRONT OF THE TV" Good Luck to all...
