So I'm about to have surgery in about 7 hours (9:30 am) it's 2:30 am right now. I can't sleep a wink and I have constantly been going back and forth on whether to go through with the surgery or not. Do I really wanna give up all the foods I love so much FOREVER???? Can I give them up??? Can I take this pain from the surgery???? Will I lose all my hair???? All of these thoughts keep swirling through my head and I can't seem to think straight! I guess all I can do is try to get some sleep and pray for the best...I'M SO SCARED!!!:(

Surgery isn't pleasant but I think you'll survive that fine. Just don't get dehydrated like I did. I don't think you're going to have to give up all of your favorite foods. I'm only in the mushy stage but it sounds like you can eat almost anything within reason. Some people can even eat bread. I felt the same way before my surgery, even thought about cancelling but the benfits are gonna outweigh negatives. I didn't have any problem with the liquids diet after surgery and so far I'm actually trying to figure out how to get enough calories with mushies. I know you're surgery is over now. Hope it went great.

Thanks :) My surgery is over and I plan on updating on my blog. All is well...just a little sore!
