I just posted this in the main forum. We're all preops in here, but I'm sharing it anyway.

Well, I'm officially on my two-day clear liquid only diet as of two hours ago. I can actually only have Water from now until tomorrow afternoon because I have to get some labs done at my cardiologist. On the one hand, I was not terribly excited about that, but on the other, the clear Protein Shake will look like a feast by the time I get to it. I can't believe this is it. I have this slight panicky feeling that's trying to tell me that the dinner I had tonight was my last enjoyable meal ever. I know that's not the case, and even if it was the case, I'd still know I had to do this surgery. I feel the freak out creeping up on me a little at a time as I get closer to walking into that hospital Wednesday morning. All I can do is take one breath at a time, and one step at a time, and just do this. Okay, as I write this, I'm really feeling how terrified I am. I need some words, please. Some people to tell me how worth it this was to them, and how much better they felt in the weeks and months after surgery.

That was not your last enjoyable meal. You will eat food again and you will be able to eat enchiladas. Just not a whole one. You will enjoy your food MORE later. Now you are eating because you are either happy, sad, mad, or whatever you are. Then you will be eating to LIVE! You will relish the taste of each morsel.

This is your Renaissance. Your rebirth. Think of all the things you WILL be able to do without focusing on food. Think of all the time you will gain every day and all the years you will gain by being healthier. Daydream!

Don't doubt yourself. You, like me, have obviously not been able to lose weight the way others can. There is no other option. This is the best decision you can make for you and your family. Don't give up!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
