Andrea, good luck on your surygery (Mine is the same date). I know it is agonizing waiting until the 'big day', but try to take your mind off of it and do something productive until your surgery day (I made a commmitment to myself and am doing the same). I am exercising moderately, learning to eat off of small plates and really taking time to chew my food at least 25 times (boy, doing that makes me think we americans GULP our food down!....smile). This is all in preparation of what life with food will be like after the surgery.
Again....GOOD LUCK! Vikki H., Cedar Hill, Tx
