Hi Rikka! Stay tough in your decision to not smoke! And as for eating lots of sugar before surgery, it's normal for many of us to have "gotten in that last meal" before our surgeries. (I even gained 10 lbs prior to my surgery because of all those last meals!) But do know that most everything you think you won't be able to have, you will - just in moderation. And for things like sugary foods, there are so many wonderful alternatives available, that you'll hardly miss all the cakes, pies, candy, etc. Rikka, I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers as you journey over to the other side! :) Caroline (5 months post-op and -91 lbs)
