Can't believe 24 hours from now I'll be checking in at admissions!!! I'm excited and nervous!! The anticipation is the worst, lol! I'm just ready to get this over with and get back home to start my recovery! I started packing my hospital bag last night and reality seriously set in! This is really happening! I've only had surgery once, and I remember being incredibly nervous. I think I'll do better this time, but I have apologized to my husband in advance for being a nut tomorrow morning!! The plan is to drop my daughter off at school (which I pre warned my husband I will cry) then head to the hospital. Check in is 8am and surgery is scheduled for 10. I'm hoping if all goes well, I'll be out of the pacu and in a room by 2pm. My husband plans to be there the whole time, then pick my daughter up after school and bring her to visit. She's only 4, and knows only a little about what's going on. She knows mommy is having surgery and will stay the night at the hospital. Luckily, I worked nights as a nurse for a long time, so hopefully mommy staying the night in the hospital won't be to weird for her! Anyway, the plan is to stay busy today, and try to sleep tonight! I'm sure sleep won't come easily, lol! I'll try to post again tomorrow with an update. My surgery is at Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, Colorado. It's a beautiful hospital, and all rooms are private, which I love!!!!!! Wish me luck!

Good luck sounds like you have everything work out and plan now just relax and breath lol, I know the night before my surgery I wet to bed early because i wanted the day I have waited for so long to hurry up and come, sounds silly but that was my thinking. I know your going to do great and your going to love the new you. I am almost 9 weeks out and I am loving love, the recovery was great and right after surgery I was up and walking and like my doctors and nurses say I was burning rubber on my IV stand. This new opportunity to be healthy and prolong your life is so worth it and I would do it again 100 times over. Good luck my friend we are all saving a seat for you on the losers bench. Keep us posted.

@@Cupcake I got sleepy around 8pm and now I can't sleep. That was my thinking as well since I have to be at the hospital so early in the morning. It's now 10:25pm and I haven't gone to sleep yet. Feel like I'm in school when we had a field trip the following day you didn't want to oversleep.

Nurse Jenny, I'm having surgery with Dr. Long at Parker on Tuesday. Since I live out of the area, I'm having my pre-op at 7:00 am tomorrow. Good luck with your surgery!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
