I am struggling w/the liquid diet. I started yesterday and can have a light meal at night but I'm telling you - if i'm able to eat it won't be light..... i realized that last night. I think I'm better off just sticking to an ALL liquid diet. I'm already "missing" food. You have no idea how badly I'd love a grilled steak right about now lol

I'm anxious that I'll go through all this and not lose weight or experience issues as a result of the surgery. I'm anxious about having surgery - never fun, but I don't think it's going to be that big a deal really. All that aside, my excitement outweighs everything else. Everyone I've talked to who've had the surgery all say they wished they'd done it sooner. I'm ready to take my life back. I am fortunate because I am active and can do most things I want but I am looking forward to having stamina - getting down on the floor and not groaning when I get back up. Getting off my high blood pressure medicine, not worrying if I'll fit in rides at the amusement park. Most of all...I'm excited to fit in cute clothes. (I don't care what you say - large sizes are made to make you look...large & dowdy)

I'm Sept 11th - Upstate NY !! Excited and nervous
