Two days ago (Monday) my hubby and I went to the pre-op class and to the hospital to get all the pre-admittance testing done. Anyone who is not a little scared when they are getting ready for any surgery just doesn't have a clue or pay attention. Ive done all I can to get ready fir this and to make it as safe as possible. Ive changed the entire families diet, talked to people that are pre-op, lost all the weight I needed to for surgery and then some, been taking my meds and vitamins, walking, making sure I stay hydrated, got off all caffeine and listening to my medical team. There is nothing left I can do to make sure everything will be ok, I have to just trust my team. Lucky for me my team is AWESOME!

My family has joined me in trying many post-op recipes and so far they love all of them, I know my diet will be separate of there's for a while but that is ok. Was only mildly bummed that there will be no Thanksgiving dinner for me because I will only be 2 weeks out and maybe on soft foods, but I am prepared for only liquids. My son still gets to come home from college and we will still have a turkey dinner with family, but mine will be soup and yogurt. Ill have a pumpkin protein shake instead of pumpkin pie and cream of turkey soup instead of turkey and stuffing. I LOVE theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com because I have already tried shake recipes from her site that will be perfect for thanksgiving. Everyone should check her out.

Well now all I have to prep for is weight loss puberty, acne, hair-loss (maybe), massive PMS, dumping, constipation, cravings and pain. But I'm also prepared for energy, baggy clothes, less meds, walking, shopping, camping, swimming, going to pennsic again (maybe), visiting my son at college and a bunch of other crap Ive not been able to do for so long.

I cant wait for the next stage of my life to start.
