Is there any specific questions I should ask while at my surgeons office on wednesday since this is the last time I will see him before surgery?
Also - do I have any surgery buddies?

Congrats on the 12 lbs lost. I will weigh in Wed for my two weeks and I am guessing I will be right there with you.

Greetings kcb, I too am a 1955er!
While you didn't ask the question of me, I thought I might be able to help a little. I read your posting and your liquid diet is basically the same one I had to do. I think the reason why the choices is for CIB, Slim Fast or Boost vs. hot chocolate is the vitamin & fat content. I was limited to 3 Slim Fasts and just clear liquids for a week prior to surgery.
Suggestions for getting warmer beverages, I found drinking Chamomile or Orange Spice herbal teas were pretty satisfying and helped to keep me hyrdrated. It is really helpful to get in as may liquids as you can as it will be easier for your anesthesiologist & nurses to help you getting blood or starting IV's.
I sure do wish you and everyone who is waiting for surgery the best and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
Hugs and good thoughts,
Barb

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I am sure you will do great, you've planned and worked hard for this. I'll be scooting on over to give you a spot on the losers bench. I hope you will keep in touch and let me know how you're doing.
Hugs,
Barb
