Surgery Tomorrow Morning.. VERY nervous

[shantra 73]

I am not particularly a stranger to the operating room and I don't recall ever feeling this nervous. Things are flying around in my head and just won't stop, if I could sum it up I have a lot of anxiety and found it very tough to get to sleep last night.. ended up online till 1 in the morning.

I have been cleaning the house all day off and on, we stocked up yesterday. I have the following list, in case it is useful to anyone else:

1. Prune juice

2. Cream Soups

3. broth

4. Protein shakes

5. Drinkable Yogurt

6. chewable Vitamins

7. Chewable Calcium + Vit D

8. Pill box so that I can put all my pills in the dosage my surgeon wants before I go in.

9. 2 new Pillows to give me extra support in bed so that I can sleep sitting up if I have to.

10. A body pillow.

11. Pure indulgence.. a mini lavender bean bag bunny to squeeze and snuggle.

12. Spring Water

Sooooo.. I guess tomorrow.. over to post op.

I was very nervous too, but you'll find that the surgery itself will go by quick. I was in and out in 3 hours.

Your list seems good, sums up my last 4 days. The day I came home on Wednesday, I had a very achy left shoulder and used a heat pad overnight worked great and the pain only lasted one day.

Good luck tomorrow.

I know you're nervous but I'm excited for you. You are starting one heck of a journey and you will be so happy once you start to lose the weight, get healthier, and feel better. Keep us posted and let us know when you've made it to the other side.
