Now that my real first preop diet day is here.... I am so calm. It is kinda weird! I think I was on this frenzy of sorts, eating too much of a bunch of crap there for a few days... and emotions all over the place.

But now, its like no sweat! Last night, I was worried.... today... Just doing my thing and NOT eating! LOL! :) :)

Thanks all for your support! 7 days and counting!

(I even downloaded a wigit to my phone that counts down the days! LOL! On my screen it says; "SURGERY - 7 Days" And changes each day as I get closer. I did this the day I got my date! :) :)

You will do great! Like I told a friend at work who is getting an RNY, read and learn all you can beforehand. YOu have already been doing that.

Awesome Becca. You will do great! Keeping the bench warm for you. :-)

That's good! The body and mind are connected, so if your brain is in a good place your body should be, too!

Your probably more prepared than anyone I know. You've done all your research and a lot for most of us too. You are going to totally rock this preop phase!

Congratulations you are nearing home plate. You have done so much prep work it is no wonder your brain is saying "ok human where here enough is enough I need low voltage for the next week" lol
you have not only brought education to your own story but you have been sweet enough to share it all with us. I admire you a great deal and I just know your new chapter is going to be amazing for you.
