How are you doing? How is the diet going for you? Thinking and praying for you, it's going to be here before you know it!

My diet.. It's going =/ I'm just super nervous I can't wait to get this over with. The thing that gets to me the most.. Is the fact of losing my hair :(

LULU I feel the same way... My sister had this surgery in May and she had the most gorgeous thick hair and even though it's still beautiful it has definitely thinned out. I ALREADY have thin hair so I'm VERY nervous abt this... Gonna just try my hardest to get as much protein as possible...

Well i am 3 days out from my surgery... The gas part is killing OMG it is wicked bad. I have not felt like drinking anything not to mention my protien drinks. Every time I drink something I can feel my stomach and my insides are grubbling and growling... I have been up walking and even been up most of today wrapping xmas gifts.. Does the gas part every go away?? At this point it feels like i will have this all the time.
