Im 5 days away from surgery, staying calm thanks to this forum!

Hi! Im 5 days away from my surgery (May 31st) yay! And Im staying calm thanks to this amazing community! A few days ago I posted that I was feeling completely alone and a lot of you came right to the rescue and made me feel Im not alone in this journey.

Now, on the liquid diet (day 10, 5 more to go)... I cheated today, I ate a toast that my boyfriend left behind after Breakfast. OMG I had almost forgotten how it felt to chew something! It felt good, bad, guilty, all at the same time. I came here, read that the same happened to many of you and now Im focused on staying clean until my surgery.

Something nobody told me: my body hurts like hell! I don't know if its because I've lost 30lbs or because Im nervous but my back is hurting, my teeth are hurting, my ear hurts, I have a headache.... Its like my body is mad at me! Did this happened to you too? I can't take ant painkillers so Im stuck.

Finally, Im already on leave from work so tomorrow Im spending the day putting together some care packages for my mom, my MIL and my boyfriend who are going to be taking care of me in the week after surgery, and I read here that its a nice gesture to give something to the nurses too so let me know if you have any ideas or if you've done it too!

Thanks everyone for reading, have a great day/night!

Don't feel bad about cheating just really try not to let it happen again. I made it 6 days before I broke down and got myself a bagel in the morning and pizza that night. Still lost 25 pounds during the pre op liquid diet and everything went absolutely perfectly during surgery. Best of luck!
