Got My Date!!!

Got the call today from the surgeons office and I am officially on the schedule for May 21st at 8am.  I am so happy!! (and nervous). I had actually gotten a call from them yesterday that I missed. Of course when I called back I got their voicemail, so I had to wait for them to call again.  I didn't let the phone leave my sight all day today, just to make sure I didn't miss it again.

So, in just a little under three weeks I will officially be hopping on the Bandwagon.  I've got to start making my lists...I'm a big list person, got that from my mom.  I make lists of my lists and even add things to the list after I've done them just to be able to cross them off ;)

Seriously, I need to officially make my list of items to have on hand prior to surgery.  I've been gathering some things along the way, just so I don't have to get everything all at once.  Here's what I have so far:

•      Assortment of powdered proteins (I've been sampling to see which I like best, now I just need to buy  more)
•      Assortment of pre-made protein shakes
•      Gas X
•      Milk of Magnesia
•      Heating pad
•      small plates and bowls
•      small forks and spoons
•      chewable vitamins (although I don't really like them, I'll use us the bottle before I switch brands)
•      blender bottle
•      magic bullet (i've had this for years)  anyone know where I can get extra cups?
•      small dixie cups for sipping fluids the first couple of days

I have an all day nutrition class on the 17th, so I'll do a major shopping trip that weekend before surgery.  Anyone have suggestions about things that were/ are helpful for you?
