2 Days till Gastric Bypass

Oh wow... just 2 days! I'm having RNY Gastric Bypass on Monday, April 20th. I've been waiting so long for this to happen. Thyroid issues have been holding me back, adjusting to new medicines etc... It's finally happening. Monday I go in at 6am and surgery should be around 8am or so... I'm not as nervous today as I have been. I had pre-op on Friday, so alot of things were explained to me and I was told alot of things to expect afterwards. So I'm more at ease now. Sunday I can only have yogurt & clear liquids, nothing else. It's gonna be a long day lol....Today's not too bad, just trying to get caught up on housework and laundry. Getting all my comfy clothes washed because I won't be able to do any laundry or housework for a while i'm sure.
I got my medical release and medical leave pay all set up last week and I'm out of work the entire month of May so that's nice, I'll need the time to adjust and adapt to my new way of eating. I bought a blender weeks back so I could do my protein shakes and I've been looking for a food processor but can't seem to find one I like :( the search continues... lol
My sister in law/best friend is going to come with me to the hospital, she's going to drive me so I don't have to drive my car & leave it parked there in the garage. I'll be there a few days according to Dr. Fernandez. I'm ok with that, I'll need it.
Well I better get back to this housework & laundry, it certainly won't get done without me lol ;)
