Another important note: Be a part of our circle of support! Please plan to return to the pre-op forum to answer questions for our pre-op sisters! The pre-op gals need your experience to help them as they plan for their upcoming surgery.

Positive thoughts and best wishes along your healing journey ladies!
You got this!

As you prepare for your surgery, I wanted to send you and best wishes for your surgery and recovery.

I will be joining you as your Hostess on the Recovery Thread for all those having surgery between Aug 8-14. This will be the place to be encouraged, to find support, and to meet others who are on this journey with you. Look for it at the top of the Post-Op Forum after your surgery.

As you are preparing your “special place” for recovery, here are a few items that many have found helpful.

-- Gas X
-- Stool softener (your doctor may suggest a specific one)
-- Wipes (gentle, non-alcoholic – more soothing than tissue)
-- Heating pad (helps to ease the pain)
-- Pillow for tummy support (especially if you cough, sneeze, or laugh)
-- Note pad & Pen (to help you keep track of your meds)

It is normal to have questions and be nervous. I will be by your side each step of the way. Try to sit back and relax and have a little “you” time. (bubble bath, chatting with friends, go out for coffee , take in a movie) Make a list of those last minute things you want to get done and won’t be able to do after surgery: last minute cleaning, grocery shopping, making meals and freezing them, having a special time with you family and loved ones.

Here are a couple of links you may find helpful:

• Mr. Hystersisters This is a place for our loved ones to learn how to best support us.
• Abbreviations A guide to the abbreviations used on the site.

Remember this all important rule -- pamper the princess.

I will see you on the other side.

Feels very real to see all our names there.
Prayers for all of us taking the journey on the same day.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes...I'm nervous and excited at the same time..I'm excited because the pain and bleeding will be coming to an end. Nervous about the next chapter of my female journey around surgical menopause and HRT. Wishing everyone the best tomorrow.

I need to start on my cleanse..Fun! Fun! Fun! Talk to you on Friday if not before.:

RButterly I did mine earlier. Hopefully you got the flavored one lol it wasn't much better. I am with you on wanting to get this over as well.
