I'm washing clothes and getting the house cleaned. I still need to pack a bag. I have Protein Powder, sugar free stuff for my post-op diet. I have my medicine, Vitamins, and a blender! Maybe that will help you.

My surgery is a week from tomorrow.

I'm spending all my time online looking at designer clothes.

lol. I'm all ready thinking about the clothes I'm going to donate. I have no space as it is now. So looking forward to getting rid of stuff.

But I'm definitely in nesting mode today. weird. Just a few days left...I know what you mean. Just want to prepare!

My surgery is on Wed too. I've been lurking on this site for months, but this is my first post. Hard to believe it's finally happening. I am so overwhelmed. I took today and tomorrow off to get my stuff together, compose myself, etc., and all I can do is obsessively read posts on this site! I need to pack - going to my mom's straight from the hospital - get my dog's things together, etc. I think I'm worrying too much. One thing I did do was contact a lawyer and have my will done. At age 56 I figured no tine like the present! Now I'm superstitiously wondering if I'm sending a bad message out to the universe:)

The pre-op diet has been fine. I'm a very good short-term dieter. Haven't shown much weight loss, but my "regular" habits are all messed up. Wish I knew how big my liver was!

Bottom line for me, and I suspect for all of us with close dates, is no second-guessing!!! Living as an obese person all these years is probably much harder than the next few months are going to be. Good luck to all the August sleevers!

Ellen, welcome.

And good on you for doing your will -- that's not bad mojo ... that's just a grown-up thing to do.

It's a good community. Join in. And let us know how you're doing post-op.

Lately, I've seen a number of comments from folks who had easy recoveries. Who knows how ours will go (I'm in 7 days), but we might as well think positive. If it sucks afterward, at least we didn't waste any time beforehand worrying about it.

Just found out my tentative date in sept 3. Excited but also second guessing too. Just need to keep pushing through. Will be happy with the end result. Good luck.
