Hello Angela,
Thanks for the well wishes =]

I feel the exact same way so I'm glad I'm not alone!  I totally understand about chasing kids around because I have one that just turned 3 and a 5 1/2 year old so I just hope I never forget during the first 6 weeks post op and try to help them in the car or pick them up and not think about it and herniate my stomach!  We aren't suposed to lift anything over 10lbs which a gallon of milk is 8lbs!  So it's not much.  That totally freaked me out when they said that!  I was like great one more thing to worry about afterwards but I'm with you with knowing everything, I know I'm still making the right decision!  :)  My dr has me starting on the liquid diet for 4 days before my surgery and it's the same diet I'll do for 2 weeks after surgery.  It's total clear liquids like jello, crystal light, sugar free popsicles with no sugar alcohols or I just make my own and the only non clear liquid I can have is my protein drinks with skim milk.  I only have 1 appt left and that's with the anesthesiologist on Monday the day before my surgery!  We'll have to keep in touch.  I'll be thinking of you for your surgery too!  I'll try to get on and post as soon as I get home but since I don't know how I'll feel I'll for sure say I'll do it within that week.  :)  Good luck to you too!
