How crazy that so many people have the same mind set as me! This forum is going to be very helpful. I am going through the same thing. I feel like a prisoner getting his last meal before the electric chair. My wife even made me some cookies today. She even made mention of the last supper. I had my pre-op meeting with Dr Michael Snyder. He only has a 24 hour liquid diet, and nothing to eat or drink after midnight the day of the surgery. We've gone to eat at a couple of my favorite restaurants. I like Lone Star's 14 oz rib eye, with the baked potato. The crazy part is that I've been eating more, and seem to be loosing weight. One thing I am concerned with and could use some suggestions, is that when I get to my goal weight, I'll be able to have the rib eye again. I need to get that out of my head. Any thoughts? My surgery date is 1-22.

Some incredilbe stories. I ask my wife all the time how do single parents do it. It seems like as a team we are maxed out. Congratulations for making it work. One thing that got my attention with these posts are the men that died so young. I am 44 with the high blood pressure, and haven't controlled it as I should have. It's been as high as 200/110 this year, but was 130/80 today. I get bannded on 1-22. I hope I am not too late. I go to bed nightly thinking of what could happen if I died. I can't get life insurance because of my health (diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma....). I am encouraged by your stories with so many issues, and working through them. Thanks for sharing.
