Good luck!
I didn't bring much and I'd bet you won't need much. I'd suggest to wear comfy, loose fitting clothes in since you'll probably wear them out to go home. No belt, so elastic waistband (like sweatpants, etc.). Slip on shoes or something you don't have to tie, like Crocs, etc. In the hospital, I only wanted chap stick and a phone charger. I was only in for 16-20 hours total I believe so it was a quick stay where I mostly tried to sleep or shuffle/walk around a little. I know people take bags and clothes and books and computers, etc. I really didn't feel like doing a damn thing. I just laid there in the bed on my pain medicine.

Thanks bud..yea I can't wait .looking forward to a different life for sure
I really needed nothing. I brought stuff to read, but I mostly slept and was out the next day. Maybe some chapstick.
I also brought my cpap machine, as requsted by the hospital.
Best of luck! You will not regret it! Even with some of the ups and downs, falling off the good food wagon on occasion, you will be much healthier and happier.

Day later after road trip to ATL. Damn you Double Tree Inn chocolate chip cookies! GF's family August birthday gathering Saturday in Gainesville.
No direct impact from Harvey Round One. Round Two over the next couple of days may give us some rain but nothing major. Follow a FB TX law enforcement group and the pictures from along the coast - WOW! Speaking of rounds - my condolences to Mr. McGregor.
Have a Great Week, Dudes!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

I think I like the new scale I have been using :-) Mindfully eating, but popcorn is still a downfall. Next goal is 199.9 or better.
Have a good week everyone.

Happy Sunday! I'm headed in the right direction! Finally feeling better after the skin infection from a few weeks ago. What a raw deal (pun fully intended!).
Work is going well, I'm enjoying the new job (I'm 2 months in now). Headed to Hawaii on Thursday for a week and half. Looking forward to some swimming and tennis.
Have a great week everyone. If you're in the south, be safe.

So I thought I was eating mindfully. I thought wrong. 21 days on the road kicked my ass. I did a good job with vitamins and water. Not so much with exercise. Based on the schedule I am looking at, I have 48 weeks to go. I gotta figure out a better routine for this travel.
My heart goes out to all the folks in south east Texas. Between the devastation from #Harvey and now the flooding in Houston, its a mess. Stay safe.
