Well, it's been over a year since I first spoke to my family doctor about this surgery and it's finally going to happen. I start Optifast on Monday and my surgery is scheduled for May 14. I don't feel nervous yet or anything, I guess I have sort of overprepared myself mentally but now to prepare myself physically will be the challenge.

Am I the only one who feels like I should be eating like I am dying today?

Congrats!  I am so excited for you.  You are for sure not the only one who feels like they should eat like they are dying.  I didn't have to do a liquid diet before surgery until the day before so for the 3 days before that all I ate was junk.  I felt so sick, but I still kept doing it.  Now that I don't eat that junk I feel tons better.
Good luck to you on your surgery and don't forget to get your water in before and after surgery.  It really does help.

Don't eat like you're dying.  You're not dying.  And you will get to eat plenty of really good food after surgery.  Just not right away.

Good luck!
