Congratulations! You will find that thus journey is an emotional one. I start my 1 week pre-op diet next Tuesday. I'm getting a little nervous at the thought if not eating for a week! Best of luck to you.!

I'm in Omaha, also excited and nervous. I've been saying good bye to my favorite foods this week. I start my pre op liquid diet on Saturday. Do people normally do like a "last meal" kinda thing?!?

So after I was trying to decide if I was going to tell my coworkers or not, my boss approaches me today and wants to send out a email a week before my surgery to tell my coworkers that I'm having surgery and expect for me to be out of the office for several weeks. She is going to tell them to respect my privacy and not ask me about the surgery, which is going to be hard for some people (we all know those types that are to damn nosy for there own good). When she first asked me this morning, I thought it was a good idea, but I just don't now. Feeling frustrated....

I have been enjoying everything I can. Not over doing it though. I just want to enjoy my favorites now.

I am excited but a little nervous too.

I'm the same. Crazy that Im not worried about the surgery itself. Im more worried about getting my liquids in, getting Proteins in and recovering nicely more then anything.

Sue I understand your frustration. My office has been very supportive. I hope yours will be too.

I've read on here that some people have enjoyed there last meal. For me that will be this next coming Monday. I'm not planning on it, but I might have a small treat before it is over!
