Start of the liquids.
So tomorrow I do clear liquids all day. My wifeand myself debated on if Diet Mt. Dew was considered a clear liquid. I finally gave up and let her win, again. So tomorrow it is liquids all day and the start the prep and 6 pm, which I am not looking forward to.
I took the whole day off from work and think after I get back fom the airport I am going to hang at the pool with my family as I don't think I will be feeling in the mood for a few weeks.
Stress level is starting to go through the roof, but I know a year from now and even a month from now it will be worth it. I started this trip last Sept. and have wanted these results probably my whole life. My surgeon's goal and my goal will have me weighing less than I did my Sophmore year of High School.
Oddly enough my largest worry right now is making sure my projects at work will continue to go smoothly as they are pretty high profile and deal with pretty well known companies.

Alot of hurry up and wait for the next few weeks. You'll be climbing the walls with bordom. For most people it's manageable pain for about 4 days, then about 6 days of discomfort...Then you should be fine. At home sleep when and where you can...bed, floor, recliner, couch...use alot of pillows. The pain near your bellybutton is where they put the camera...Usually that one hurts the most...but really not bad.
You'll probably be doing alot of second guessing. I woke up my wife at 3:00am the day of my surgery (since I couldn't sleep at all the night before). I asked her..."am I doing the right thing"?? She said you've thought about this, prayed about it, looked at it from every angle...Yes...Now get some sleep..." Hang on and enjoy the ride!!

LOL I live 5 minutes from Spondivits. I saw in another post that you visited Shreveport, my former home for a couple years. I never went to the boats I spent my time working and fishing.
