Only 10 days til surgery....it is getting very real.
I don't have to do the pre-op dieting that some have to do, so I am thankful for that.  Im just gonna keep my head down and trudge thru this week.  Just so many things running thru my mind...
UUUgghhhh....

those 10 days will be gone before you know it and you will be on your way to a new life. 

Even though you don't have required pre-op dieting, I suggest weaning yourself off sodas and caffiene before surgery.  And cut out all white carbs.  It will make life easier for you after if you have already given up that stuff. 

Hang on, it's a wild ride.

Thanks so much for the encouragement everyone!!!  I don't drink soda or coffee so I'm good on that front. BUT I am a carb addict!!!  This will be my biggest downfall, I'm certain...I have been trying to wean off this week so I don't have to go "cold turkey".

Oh - how exciting!  Your new life is just ahead of you.

I "second" Prices advise - decarb if you can - it will make things easier.  Since you don't drink soda or caffeine - you're already ahead of the game.

Decarb, de-caffeine and practice chewing slowly and carefully.

Everything else is just gravy.

It will go by fast, and you're going to be just fine. 10 days until your new life begins!
