I'm scheduled for November 8. Nervous but excited. I just turned 50 about 6 weeks ago and I feel my life is just about to get started. I'm praying all goes well.

Wondering if anyone can help me find a loophole here...

so i need to be at the hospital at 6am, and its about 45 min away (when you factor traffic). I currently live about 20 minutes away from my parents house (which is my legal address). Trying to think of a way i'd be able to vote, but polling places open at 6 (my district is 20 min away, not sure if i HAVE to vote there, first timer...)

IDK, anyone see a way to vote and arrive on time?

So I'm in the check in room waiting to be called back and now it's kinda hitting me. I did sleep a bit but still vary tired. I'll check in again once I'm out.

I slept 2 hour the day before my surgery and taking naps as I sit here in my hospital room. Best wishes, you'll do great!

Hmmm. Bring some good sweats and slippers, lip balm, I brought my iPad and iPod. Glasses, they wouldn't let me bring contacts for obvious reasons. I think those are the biggest helps this far. The lip balm has saved my life, they still have me NPO ( nothing by mouth) and my mouths so dry and lips would have been chapped, definitely my best friend so far, and sweat pants are so comfortable, I hate sitting here naked though lol.

Did you not have early voting? If not that's a bummer, I was able to vote absentee this year

Well they sent my ballot to the wrong address, and by the time I found out it was too late to go to the elections office and I'm in the hospital right now.

Had my surgery the 6th. Home now just a little discomfort. Hospital staff was great worst dry mouth ever the first day. The only way to sum up the discomfort is a punch in the stomach by a big brother. Well going to get comfy in my own bed so good nite all and god bless.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
