All set and ready for surgery OMG is it real?

I had my prep today. I am all cleared to have surgery August 7th. I'm first on the schedule!!  Any suggestion for my three day of clears only?  I can't wait to feel better. I went to Disney World last week, I could not keep up with my kids.   I was so tired and had to take a nap mid day. My kids were ok with it but what a bummer for everyone.  Then stressing while in line for a ride, will I fit?  Will I get stuck?  Are we going to tip over because I'm to heavy?  I can't wait to change all those thoughts and behaviors!  I can't wait to be included with my family when they play sports outside!  I can't wait to stop sitting and start moving!!  

Congrats, Jenn, it'll be here before you know it.  I remember being really excited last year at this time too.  I had my surgery date and couldn't wait for it to be here.  There is a ton of great info here.  Good luck!

Congrats!  You've a lot to look forward to!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Being able to go on the rides is one of the best feelings. Since surgery I can count maybe ten times taking a nap. I used to nap daily. 

You will feel so much better. 

We are so excited for you, we are doing the Happy Dance!

Before you know it you will be on the other side.   Lots of NSV in the future. I do feel I don't worry as much anymore... will I fit? Will I break the seat? ..... you get the idea. As far as the clear liquids see if you can have SF popsicles or SF italian ices. I had never eaten a SF popsicle before but after surgery they were a lifesaver - something solid :) My favorite thing to do when I have to be on clear liquids is to buy a quart of chicken broth from the chinese restaurant - nothing in it. It is just very flavorful, and has that chinese taste...

Yep, thats adrenalin in its purest form.

All of your hormones and emotions are scrambled, anticipation rules at this point. ENJOY IT, EMBRACE IT and stay excited.

Its an important part of the process.

Your super bowl begins on Aug 7th. Your Datona 500 is Aug 7th, PUMPED, is what atheletes call it.

The longer we keep the excitement molecule stimulated, the more successful our journey will be.

This is just a premier, wait until you see 50 pounds gone on the scale, or in my case, going from 6x tee shirts to xl tall in 9 months.

Might sound like Im ramblin,  but Im still excited.

Good luck on Aug 7th, keep your adrenalin pumpin, and you cant lose the game. Your so ready for this, go get em.

I love my sleeve!
