All ready I think...lol

Is it too late to throw up...lol

You're going to do just great - you seem very well prepared mentally for this journey and you've stuck it out with complying with the pre-surg plan. 

After surgery, the liquid diet will be SO much easier than before surgery, for a few reasons.  First, your new pouch will be swollen, so will get full VERY quickly.  Second (I'm assuming you're having bypass, right? can't remember - sorry), the nerves in your stomach are cut in the surgery.  It will be impossible for them to transmit hunger signals to the brain for quite a while (I'm just now starting to feel it a little bit occasionally) so any "hunger" you feel will be head hunger or gas.  Finally, you'll be doing protein loading in your liquid diet, and the protein helps you feel much more satisfied more quickly.  So don't worry - I know I was apprehensive about it and that part was a breeze!

We'll be saving you a nice spot on the loser's bench!  Congratulations on taking a major step toward health and a new life!

Thanks Karen, yes I am having the bypass.

I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks again.

Geoff, good luck tomorrow!!! You'll do great---you've done a lot of research and have educated yourself. Can't wait to have you join us on the losers' bench!!! Julia

Geoff, you are going to be great tomorrow!! You have done so well with your pre-op program and have gotten lots of great advice along the way.

See you on the other side!!!

Two syllables......WAAAAAA   HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So proud of you! :)

Thanks again everyone, is it too soon to leave for the hospital now...lol

Best wishes for your surgery! It sounds like you are extremely well-prepared and you are going to do just great!  Get ready for your new life on the Loser's Bench!

Congratulations - you're almost there!! You're going to do great - don't worry about the pain - its minimal (usually) and there are plenty of good drugs out there to help you thru that - and believe me, you won't be hungry - it'll be all you can do to get tha****er in at first. Caths aren't fun but it won't be in long, and IV's are about the same. You're going to do great!!
