Thank you all for your advise its helping me just 2 days away

I go into my class with the surgeon on the 13th and my surgery is June 26th. I guess what I'm nervous about is that I'm going to cheat on my per-op diet cause I will be smelling the food, plus I have a couple of parties that I have been invited to also during my pre-op diet. I'm trying right now just a test on drinking 2 meals and eat 1 during the week while I'm at work. So far I'm not doing to bad.

I think another thing I'm nervous about is how I'm going to feel after the surgery and how hard it is going to eat just my liquids. I do a lot of reading on this site (which has answered allot of my questions), but I know that everyone is different.

This site is the best I've seen for not only information, but for support too. I'm glad that my husband found this and told me about it.

I had that same fear and had in my mind that everything would not only smell good, but smell even better than it had before. Fortunately, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be but I'm also blessed with some very considerate co-workers who have made sure not to bring any of their hot lunches around me.

On a slightly different note, during my 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet I noticed exactly how many commercials are on TV for food - there are a ton of them, and most of it isn't good for you. It's no wonder so many people are overweight.

I moved into a new house the day I started my 10 day pre op diet. That kept me real busy right up till surgery. Costly way to keep your mind off of surgery though.

Wednesday for me! No fingernails left! Lol
