You all are SO great!! I really appreciate all of the great information and positive thoughts. I'm going to go through with the surgery, I know. I can't keep telling myself that the next diet will work when I know it won't. This is going to keep me honest so I'm really looking forward to it. I'll keep reading and learning and even occasionally ask a stupid question. I will definitely let you all know how it goes. Started my pre-op diet today (hate that word) and trying out different Protein shakes. Great advice!! Keep the good vibes coming!! :biggrin1:

I'm excited, scared, and wondering if I'm making a mistake doing this (like a bunch of others that have done this). I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and am okay with that. Glad you all are here. I'm gonna need everyone to get through this. Two weeks of thinking about is already driving me nuts!:faint:

My DH is absolutely fantastic and I love him so much, but I don't him to be the sole source for me. He deserves a break, too, cuz he is so wonderful, and I'm looking to this board for the right level of support. So far, you all are so great. Really like the overwhelming supportive posts vs. the few and far between negatives.

Funny for me. I've had seven surgeries (3 c-sections, 1 hernia repair, 2 knee surgeries, and a gall bladder removal). Never, ever entered my mind that I could die. But for some reason, this one is really getting to me. Maybe because I think of it as elective surgery ? I don't know. If I dBut I'm worried about it, too. I wish it was over already. Trying to stay positive, but I think, "what would keep me from being that 1 in 1,000? Somebody has to be that 1, right?" Trying to stop those thoughts.
