Surgery Tomorrow.... Pre-Op Torture

I can't believe the day has come. I am super excited. I must say the whole pre-op process has been torture. 15 day all liquid pre-op diet. Today I drank my bottle of magnesium citrate, washed with half a bottle of hibiclense, and just got done gargling and swishing half the bottle of listerine (holy hell my mouth is on fire). Tomorrow morning I will wash with the remaining hibiclense and gargle with the remaining listerine. I know all of this prep will be worth it in the long run. The skin is the first line of defense and it is best to be pro-active. They pushed my surgery from 7:30 am to 1:30 in the afternoon. I just want to get this over with and begin my new sleeved life. I am so ready. Thank you everyone for all of your support, I can't tell you all how grateful I am for discovering this group. Wish me luck and I'll see ya all on the other side.
