Surgery...tomorrow!!!!!

Today officially starts my clear liquids only part of my pre-op.  Tomorrow I check into the hospital at 6 am, and should be in the OR around 7:30ish.

I have my broth, protein shakes, mini Tupperware containers, and baby spoons ready for my arrival home.  I'm a little over whelmed but am taking it one day as a time.  As my husband says...just get through Monday first ;).

I'm ready to get this show on the road....

Sound like you are good to go. Do you have a recliner available-It was the most important thing for me the 1st few days. Wishing you all the best.

You'll do great.  Saving room on the bench for you.

Lots of pillows helped me sleep in a regular bed from the first night home on...and I slept a lot in the daytime as well...two long naps a day for the first couple of weeks.  Your DH sounds like he'll be a good support system for you.  G-luck!

I was another one who had to sleep in the recliner at first.  When I did move into the bed, I used an abdominal binder.  

Good luck!  It sounds like you're really prepared!

Good luck ! My surgery is Wednesday !!    YOU GOT THIS !!! The new year is gonna be amazing !

Good luck to you too!!!!

Good luck tomorrow!

I had my surgery on Monday and was propped up in the hospital bed for the two nights. When I got home my husband had prepared a "nest" of pillows to keep me propped up all night and slept that way until two nights ago. I have done ok a little flatter but getting up is a challenge. 

You'll do great! Best wishes to you. 

I third the recliner. I had one in my hospital room and slept there for day 2 & 3 of my stay. Then stayed in the recliner at home for another week. It took awhile to be able to get back into bed.
