I am scheduled for 1/4 .... started my pre-op diet when I got scheduled - last Weds. The pre-op diet is OK - they told me to have 3 meal replacements (shake or protein bar) and one meal .... those replacements are more filling then I would have imagined. I am nervous and excited .... I'm almost 47 years old, and always been big ..... it will be a great change for me, but so very different, too .... makes it scary .... What are people telling others ? I don't want to tell the whole world I"m doing this ... only close friends who understand ..... but I feel like there are some people I need to say something to - like parents of my kids friends - and I'm not sure what to say ..... what are others doing ?
