Hi. I can't stop thinking about it for one thing. I was going to

go shopping this weekend to pick up/try some liquid supplement

drinks/protein powders to see what I like. I want to get button

down pj's, a recliner would be nice and a humidifier. What kind of

liquid food are you going to buy? What exactly are you having

done? I believe my upper will be moved up and forward, palate

split, lower brought forward. Was told my back molars won't touch

after surgery and that later I'd have to wear heavy rubber bands to

try to bring them together but there are no guarantees. I get my

surgical hooks put on Dec. 30, go to hospital for xrays, molds,

labwork on Jan 3 and last appt with surgeon is Jan 13 (I wish this

was sooner so I would know more details before the 17th). I'm

supposed to stay in the hospital 2 nights, be banded shut with a

splint for a month and he is going to leave that nasogastric tube in

overnight (which I REALLY don't like). I am 32 and have 2 kids 6

and 7 years old and a husband who doesn't want to deal with this so

should be interesting. Thank god for parents and a sister who will

help me out. I told my job that I'd probably be off 3 weeks but

that that could change. They are being great about it so I am lucky

there.

Let me know what you will be doing and I'd love to keep in touch

with you as the time approaches and thereafter.
