Good Luck with everything tomorrow... I will be right behind you on Wednesday!

Well...it's now less than 8 hours until I have to be at the hospital.  I have had an abundance of nervous energy the past couple of days.  I'm not afraid about the surgery, I trust the surgeon.  I think it's the fear of the unknown.  Yes, I've been to the pre-op nutrition class, I've had all the pre-op testing done.  I think it's just not knowing how I will respond after the surgery...will I be able to eat the protein I'm supposed to eat?  Will I be able to get all my liquids in?  Will food have a funny taste?  I've bought several items...jello, pudding, cottage cheese, yogurt, low fat cheese, protein drinks and poweder.  I feel like I've got all the stuff it's just a matter of how it will all work. 

I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers...good luck to those of you who go on Wednesday...I'll say a prayer for all of you.  I won't be able to get online until I come home from the hospital but will do so as soon as I can.  Take care and GOOD LUCK on embarking on your new journey to a healthier life!!!
