"Sweet 16"s, Roll Call

Are you ready?? Have you gotten your supplies for after surgery?? We only have 6 days left!! I'm so excited!! Are you?? Patty

Hi Patty! Can't exactly say that I'm completely READY yet... have been pretty busy working these past few days so my week is quickly flying by! I was just telling my fiance' Jeff that we still need to go buy some protein as well as some other first phase food items, like sf jello, broth, juice, etc.... I made a list of things to take to the hospital and another list of phone calls that Jeff is going to make after I come out of surgery. It is nearing Wednesday now, with midnight soon approaching. We will then only have 5 days left til surgery! Good luck to you and to all our fellow sweet-sixteeners, as well as everyone else here who has either had surgery recently or has surgery upcoming! ~Teri~

I am so ready! Teresa

Hi Patty I rarely post on this board; but YES I am ready!!! You know what's funny? The only thing I am nervous about is the pregnancy test I will take right before surgery. Back in 2003 I found out I was pregnant and had to cancel! I took a test Saturday and it was negative! I'll have to keep my fingers (and legs) crossed so that doesn't change...lol. I have all my stuff ready!! I bought about a months worth of food. 2 weeks of clear liquids and 2 weeks of full liquids. It all came up to about $20. I've been taking chewable multivitamins, chewable calcium, and protein shakes for about 2 weeks now. I also bought travel size toothpaste, body spray, and deodorant. Just about an hour ago I filled my mp3 player so I have plenty of music to listen to during my stay. My doctor does open RNY so I'll be in the hospital for 5 days. I couldn't begin to even consider watching that much TV. Is anyone doing anything special this weekend in honor of Monday??? Good Luck everyone!! God bless, Dawn
