I am so glad to find others that will be going through everything with me.  I'm embarrassed to say, but I am more nervous about the pre-op diet than the surgury and post op.  I'm a mom to three and I work full time and I am afraid that I might get to cranky/*****y during that time period.  I decided to tell one of my friends what I am doing and one person from work (as well as my family) so hopefully they will help keep me in check.  For some reason, I don't expect to be cranky after the first few days.

But, then I tell myself, this is the begining of my journey and this time next year, I am going to be so much closer to where I want to be.  It will be a tough year that will set me up for success for the rest of my life!  Let the journey begin.
