The 11th hour!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG.... I am now on day three of my clear liquid diet, and surgery first thing in the a.m. I find mint tea and low sodium broth are best. clear juice made my throat scratchy, so I am trying not to clear it/aggravate it too much. I want to thank all of you for tolerating my whining, and for just being here when I needed support (I am very "needy")... I appreciate it more than you know. I sure hope this process comes natural to me!!!!!
Try to stay busy and relax as much as you can when ever you can. Keep drinking the things that work for you. We're here for you.

It's so normal to feel "needy" around surgery time. Heck, what a big decision and there's no way to know what life will be like post-op until we get there. That's reason enough to feel needy.
My mantra pre-op, right until they walked me into the OR and told me to hop up on the table was "everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me".
I spent my days pre-op trying to visualize how wonderful I would feel and look. How easy it would be to exercise minus all those pounds. How great I would feel when I didn't have to shop in the big girl stores. How great it would be to cross my legs and bend over to tie my shoes.
All of those thoughts kept me focused on the positive and excited about surgery. I just wished it could have happened sooner, like a few decades. :)
Good luck and we'll all be waiting for you here on the Loser's Bench.

Just think this time tomorrow you will be on the loser's bench!!! Hang on because you are in for the ride of your life. We don't care how "needy" you are because we've all been there and when you're feeling needy this is the best place to be because we will ALWAYS have your back.
All the best to you!!
