    Ditto...!!! And i have a killer headache that won't go away!

    That's funny...cause I keep migraines and I felt a headache coming on this afternoon and I told myself not today cause I won't be able to take anything for it. I'm super excited but have a lot of emotions...but Wednesday isn't coming fast enough.

    My doctor gave me a list of all meds to stop at certain times....NSAIDs were one of them to stop taking 2 weeks prior to surgery. I probably could take something else but I don't want to chance it. I start Clear liquids Monday.

    No I'm not having second thoughts...just thoughts about how I will make out during and after when it comes to eating...I don't want to fail.
