Blessings to you Dana hope all goes well for you!!! You too Deana hope you both do very well!!

I have had folks question my sanity in doing this so they start with all the negatives and drawbacks. If that doesn't work then they start with how this didn't work for other folks they know....yada yada and so on! My strategy is just to let them talk...obviously they have some feelings they need to get out so I let them and continue on with my plans. I choose not to let that bother me. People mean well generally but I just don't waste my energy fighting opinions that really have no bearing on my decision or my path. My advice...listen and ignore. This decision is YOUR choice alone and at the end of the day you are the one that has to live with it so while we treasure our friends and family's good counsel we don't have to take it or be bothered by it. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Feb 1st! : )

So sorry to hear of your troubles. These types of scenarios are troublesome as we never know until after if we will be one of the lucky ones that have no complications at all or end up like you did or worse! Hang in there I wish you a speedy recovery!!

My date is 2/1/16 liquid preop diet starts on 1/18! Best of luck to us all!!!

Thanks Winklie good advice!! I will take it! Cupcakes not my drug of choice but I get your point no more pasta, white potatoes and cola for me. Thanks so much for the realism & encouragement

Thanks this is very affirming. I am preop due to have GB on 2/1. This very mindset has been on my mind constantly. I know I have to embrace this as a life long change for this to be worth it. Why put myself through all of this if I turn back to the very things and thinking that brought me to this point in the first place.
