Less than 12 hours to go....

Ok, being on a clear liquid diet for prep stinks. But it will be worth it. My husband felt so bad that I couldn't eat anything today, he didn't want to eat anything either. I finally kicked him out of the hotel room to go get himself something to eat. We are staying in a hotel room in Las Cruces,NM. Surgery is in El Paso tomorrow morning which is only 1/2 hour away. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. EEK! I will be glad when it is all over. I know that the sacrifices are temporary. TIP: On your prep day. Get some chicken or beef broth and heat it up and eat it with a spoon. It makes you feel like you are actually having a meal. Ok, so I know it sounds really dumb, but it's a mental thing I guess. Well, I hope all goes well with any of you getting ready for surgery. My prayers are with you. GodBless! Shannon

Shannon, Let me begin by saying congrats on your surgery tomorrow. I know what a choice it is. My surgery was last Monday. Let me tell you that though the clear liquid diet for the time being is difficult it is well worth the sacrifice. I have lost 18 pounds in a week and that is motivating. Hang in their buddy. Let us know how it goes and feel free to E-Mail me for some moral support. We could probably help each other. God speed in your recovery and weight lose. You are on a life changing journey. Make it a good one. Robbie

Good Luck Shannon on your surgery ....today! I'll rattle the bead, burn the incense and keep good thoughts going your way! Roxie B
