Oh, heck yeah!! I am anxiously buzzing around or staring blankly into my computer screen most of the day. I'm sooooooo nervous. I have my moments of pure joy , but they only last about 5 seconds before the anxiety comes back . I'm even having nightmares ......I can't wait 'til this is over!!!! Morgen

Well I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. I am getting a little nervous about the surgery. I'm trying not to think about it. I went Friday to buy the things for me to eat this week and get my vitamens. I got so upset I almost started crying in the store. There's a lot to this shopping now. I have to read the labels and look at things I never looked at before. Plus I still have to feed my family. It was too over whelming. But I'm ok now. I know this is all for the better . Is there anyone else out there that is getting nervous about their soon to be surgery? Charlotte

During my pre-op screening it was discovered that I am pregnant. I had already started my pre-surgery liquid diet and was geared up to not eat solid food for 4 weeks. I love my surgeon, Dr. David Dyer, he called me personally to let me know. Unfortunately I was on the road and it wasn't easy to get a hold of me but he kept trying and even called my husband to see how he was doing. How's that for care and concern of a patient? I am blessed to have a great doctor. It was hard to change my mind set from having surgery to having a baby. I have 3 kiddo's already! I have to say that God sometimes has plans for us that we don't know about and with HIM, everything is for a reason -- so, again, I am blessed! Can't wait to see what this baby brings us Thank you for everyone's well wishes. I am going to hold onto them for the next 10 months!

Thanks...never thought of adding protein to my yogurt, etc. Think I'll try it. I'm having my surgery at St. Davids in Austin, TX.
