Pre surgery check list
Take as little as possible. You should focus on resting, sipping and walking. Don't take cash or valuables because they could be stolen. My hospital gave me a small pillow for squeezing when you cough. It also was good for cushioning the seat belt on the ride home. Otherwise just heal!
Congrats on your surgery!
Chapstick :) your mouth might be very dry afterward and my hubby wasn't allowed anything to drin****il that evening (his surgery was early morning). They gave him those sponge mouth swabs. They also wanted him to walk the floor if he couldn't sleep, but he's so tall and was so big around that the hospital gowns left little to the imagination so he would have liked his own bathrobe.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
