10:30 tomorrow morning - surgery begins for sleeve

[DeeDee58 0]

I'm headed to the hospital at 8:30 in the morning. I really did want to eat "real food" this afternoon, but stayed with the surgeon's request - just Clear Liquids. I thought he really would not want to see steak in my stomach in the morning (yuk!).

Whether you all realize or not you have been courage builders and sustainers as I moved through the process. Thanks to all.

Take care and I'll try to send an update later in the day tomorrow - my wonderful husband is never without his laptop and the hospital has WiFi. Diane

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I was on a 1000 calorie a day diet pre-op, but the last week i said goodbye to all my favorite foods. KFC, Japanese food, popcorn, Fajitas, Filet Mignon, and Pasta. Anyway, i tried to stay mum about it to my surgeon, and when he asked the question, my partner blurted out, oh he has been on a whirl wind tour of saying goodbyes to all his favorite foods. Busted.
