I decided to start the diet a few days early...today!!! I was assigned to do 7 days but by choice I decided to do 11 days...my dr was pretty firm about how I need to do the preop diet "PERFECTLY" this way I can potentially have a slip up (hopefully not) this weekend and not put myself in danger. Hubs daughter and I are headed to visit family this weekend and I know there will be temptations. Especially because it's a holiday weekend.

I'm not nervous for the actual procedure. If anything I'm nervous about recovery because I have a 2.5 year old. I don't think she'll get why I'm not able to play on the ground with her for a few weeks.

My surgery is on 6/7 and my surgeon told me to just do 1 week of pre op diet other wise today would have been my first day. I'm struggling so badly right now with "last meal syndrome" (don't know if that's a thing but I'm using it). I keep telling myself, " this is the last time you'll eat a cookie in a very long time!" "This is the last time you...etc" Should I start my pre op diet early to give myself more control? I'm also not exercising near as much as I was before. I don't feel ready for this surgery. I felt ready about a month or 2 ago and since it's such a long drawn out process I've almost gotten depressed about the waiting. Insurance made me wait 6 months but the Drs schedule pushed it out another month and I lost steam. Anyone else deal with these feelings?

Congratulations. That must be such an amazing feeling!!!
