hey jdog, good luck, wow so your having your surgury on friday, that is awesome, I am sure you will do great!!! I am starting my liquid diet tomorrow, and am a little nerveous about that, the no food thing is a little weird, but I have stocked up on Gum and all the stuff I will need. So keep positive thoughs, and know that you are a strong person and you will do wonderful!!! This is a great site too to come to talk to people who are in your same situation, use it to your full benefit!!! Good Luck!!!
