My doctor said the same thing, but worded it differently. He just simply stated that I will never be able to eat the way I am used to. That I will never eat a meal the same way. Maybe the dr meant "You will never enjoy (aka eat) a whole meal again" (like a pre op sized meal).

hmmm. did it sensor me? That wasn't a swear word at all, lol. I just meant clean...

My surgery date is set for August 19th. I am on day six of my pre-op clear liquid diet. There is a list somewhere on here of what you will need at the hospital. I found that interesting. There are definitely things on there I would have never thought of like chapstick and gasx. I will get everything ready for surgery this coming week and weekend. A friend of mine is driving two hours to stay at my home and take care of the kiddos while I am at the hospital (with the Mr.) and my church has put up a sign up sheet for meals for my family for the week after surgery (they don't all know what surgery, just that I am having surgery). I have been cleaning non stop for the last week to get the house spick and span so I can come home to a relaxing environment (if that is even possible with a four year old and eight year old, lol!) How is everyone doing here?
