Tomorrow Is The Day For My Gastric Sleeve Surgery! Last Minute Tips Or Advice?

Today is the last "pre-op" day for the rest of my life.

I am excited.... scared to death.... hopeful..... happy.... sad..... anxious. All of my emotions are on overload.

I am running into town to get my hair done (since it may be awhile before I feel up to going... and the holidays are here) my nails done... and to buy any last minute items needed for post-op.

High protien liquid drinks? Any suggestions? I have found a few that I can tolerate the taste of, but they're not "clear".... they are sort of colored depending on the flavor.... does that matter? I keep hearing "Clear liquids only" after surgery for a week.... can they have color? Just not more than Water consistency?

Please say a prayer for me as I take this final leap of faith on this journey. I am flying out tomorrow morning to San Diego then driving into Tijuana, Mexico. I will have my surgery tomorrow evening.

I hope to be posting updates soon thereafter.
