Just found out the time I should arrive at the hospital tomorrow morning. The pre-op diet was not good for me and I am sure I did not get even the caloric intake I was supposed to get, but I am trying my hardest to get in the liquids today. I wish I could get over the fear that I will not be able to eat out with my friends anymore. I know this is ridiculous. I keep reading all the positive stories on the forum, and replies to my own posts have been wonderful and supportive. I guess because I have felt such hunger pains since Dec. 28, it is easy for your mind to play tricks on you. A close friend of mine told me that she did not have to follow a pre-liquid diet at all. So glad I did not know that earlier!

Regardless, the day has finally arrived. God is good and He will see me through. Thank you all for your continued support!

Me too.. I have a 12 noon date with my surgern on 1/11/13. Yes God is great... I am thankfull that I can call on Him. Pre-op went fine for me... I actully like the taste of my protien shakes. I lost 12 lbs in the week of pre -diet. See you on the lousers bench!!!

So happy for you, too! I lost 16.4 lbs., however, was required a two week pre-op diet. My surgery is scheduled for 8am. God's blessings to you!

Blessings to all of you and a very healthy long life ahead...I Salute you.God Bless
