I would KILL for some jello right now! LOL Mmmmm and broth sounds sooooooo good! Today I feel like I am seriously going to die if I don't eat SOMETHING, AHHHHHH but thankfully today is almost over! Even though tomorrow is going to be the same things! LOL just means one day down and only eight more to go!

Youre lucky to have that preop diet. I had to go on clear liquids only for the week prior(broth, water, and jello) thats it. It was soooo hard!

I have to travel an hour away to get my surgery, my husband will have the kids and we have to stay in this family housing thing near the hospital for about three days after I get discharged. My husband will stay there with the kids while I am in the hospital but I am sure they will visit often.
I have been an emotional wreck ever since I scheduled my surgery date! LOL So for about a month now, I have cried more than I have in the last two years, and in those two years my husband was in Iraq! So, thats ALOT of crying! LOL
Tomorrow I start my ten day pre-op protien diet! I get to have two protien drinks a day and a salad for lunch! I am a bit nervous about this protien diet but I know I can do it, I need to and I WILL do it!

i got gastric bypass. I was a little scared. Couldnt really sleep the week before surgery. If there is one thing i would recommend taking to the hospital with you it would be an ipod or something to listen to music on. Because you arent going to be able to concentrate long enough to read or really even watch tv. But some good music would definetly help you. Of course make sure you have someone with you at all times. My mom stayed with the the entire time. Made it so much easier for me. I know if i would have been alone at any point i probably would have cried a lot more. anastesia(or however its spelled) makes me extremely emotional. Oh and i highly recomment french braiding your hair prior to surgery. its out of your face and wont look so scary afterwards. haha. anyway i guess thats probably enough info for now. im off to work!
