Only 4 days left, now!!!

4 Days left and really only 3 days left on the liquid diet. The day before surgery I have to drink only one thing. It's this berry fruit drink. I have 7 packets of them to last all day and then after midnight I can't have anything by mouth. I also can't take my meds on Thursday either.

The kids will be off to their friends homes on Thursday night to spend the night, and Dh and I have decided to take the opportunity to go out alone by ourselves to the movies. It will be so NICE to not feel rushed to get home so we don't have to pay the sitter extra or something. I've never had that kind of "date" where I didn't feel rushed!

It will be odd to be going to the movies and smell all of that glorious popcorn and sneak my flavored water in instead, but I've done movies without popcorn before (usually only had money for the movie then, which will be pretty much the case this time too).

I think I am more excited about the date than I am about the surgery!! Although my excitement and nervousness will probably keep me up all night long as it is.

I have clothes washed, bought new undies and socks, I finally found a sleeping mask, and I have my other essentials ready too. All of my basics are already packed in the complimentary bag I received from the bariatric center/hospital, which is perfect, IMHO, for me.

These 4 days to me feel like only 3 days since the day before will be a blur I just know it.

My excitement is bubbling over and that seems so weird knowing I will be sliced and diced in just 4 days from now, LOL I will be in pain and in a hospital which I HATE hospitals. I guess I am excited to be going because I want to go and have this done, LOL. It's the one thing I have done for myself and no one else really. I can still hardly believe I will be getting this done in just 4 days.
