I go to surgery Monday

Hang in there!! You are going to begin wonderful steps toward your goal weight. Keep your eyes on the prize!! And my favorite one: KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

I think I maybe behind the gun a little bit I start my liquid diet Wednesday

Hang in there. I spent the last few days before looking for any deaths my surgeon had. There were a few, but long ago. I also looked at my programs mortality and complication rates against other common risks (I.e. Driving a car, getting another surgery). Believe it or not I felt much better afterwards. I was nervous right up until the surgery, but the thing that helped was that virtually no one regrets it long term and that there were 5 others getting the same exact surgery that day with the same surgeon...

Keep busy, don't dwell on it and you'll be fine.

Thanks
