Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the big day! I honestly can't believe it's here and I can't even feel nervous because it really hasn't hit me yet. My surgery is at 7:30 am so I'll be getting to the hospital pretty early. In the past couple weeks I've been been going to doctors and getting prepared. I had to get a physical, get some blood work done, and then last Thursday I got my surgical hooks on. The hooks are weird/annoying.

Here's a list of a couple things I got to prepare:

-Baby Toothbrush
-Aquaphor
-Humidifier
-Body pillows (I put one under my mattress to prop up my bed)
-Wipes for my face
-Button down shirts
-Ensure
-Apple Sauce
-I have a blender, food processor, and my surgeon's office gave me a NutriBullet!

I have been blending a bunch of smoothies since my mom doesn't really know how to make them and I know the first couple days I won't feel up to it to make smoothies. I made a bunch of different kinds, but my favorite is a green smoothie. The ingredients are:

-A handful of spinach
-Protein powder
-Half a banana
-Frozen pineapple
-Pineapple juice
-V8 tropical juice

I normally make smoothies with almond milk, but I find the juice makes them much thinner. So hopefully I'll able to have all these smoothies I just made! I know from reading everyone else's blogs, the first couple of days I probably won't feel like eating much.

Here's a few more before pictures, the ones from today aren't great. I'm really exhausted and haven't put on any make up today.

So many smoothies!

Selfie haha What a difference some make up makes!

Actually showing off those lovely braces

I thought this was a good candid of my side view. This picture would be so cute if my profile was better.

Well I'm off to eat my last good meal for a while! (My favorite chicken pad thai! I haven't really been sticking to the vegan thing....) I may post more in the morning but if not I'll be posting updates post-op!
