EEEK... i started my 14 day pre-op diet... My doctor recommended 14 - 7 days dieting.. as I feel i know I will cheat I'm choosing the 14 day diet to hopefully by day 7 i'll have all the cheating out of my system... also I have a 3 day prior to surgery liquid diet to do...I cannot believe I am 16 days away from this this journey!! Hope to see some of you floating around the Marriott while there!!

Americangirl302 I fly out on the 16th.. surgery scheduled for surgery on the 17th I'm scheduled with Dr. Elias Ortiz. And you?

@soontobesleeved i debated telling anyone other than my fiancee.. but i did tell my brother to see what he though my parents would say... i like you have an over dramatic mother that I love her to death but she lives in a box and anything outside that box is reason for panic per say... but after some thought and dropping hints i finally came out and told her. She's okay with my surgery she's not thrilled about the idea of me doing it in Mexico. But she also told me not to tell my Dad... LOL i'm not sure why.. but a few friends know and my coworkers.. other than that I haven't told many... it's your decision either to tell or not to tell. I just needed someone that was "IN MY OWN FAMILY" to know incase something happened (God forbid) since I wasn't married yet... Best of luck to you!!!
