Katariina, I hope your family stays safe in Florida. My surgery is on Monday and I both can't wait and am very nervous. Good luck to all those having surgery this week. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

I'm really starting to get nervous now. I leave for Tijuana Monday morning! Time is sure flying by! They need to invent a word for "terrified and excited" because I'm somewhere in between!

What hospital are you going to be in? Maybe we can cheer each other on, lol!

Pompeii Surgical. I only stay there 2 days. The rest of the time I am in their recovery center with my son. It looks like a vacation villa! How about you? When will you fly in?

I'm going to Angeles Tijuana on Monday, surgery on Tuesday. 2 nights in hospital and 2 nights at Hotel Lucerna. Your's sounds nice and relaxing. And you get the bonus of a little mom and son time. Mine are still in school, one in college, one in high school and one in Jr high. So just me and the hubby. But Nana's gonna be busy!

I'm having surgery the same day. I had the worst headache from no caffeine. How are you doing on the liquid diet?

I wasn't told I needed to stop the caffeine, so I have been having my usual 12-14 oz of organic black coffee in the morning.

The first few days of the liquid diet were very tough: the first day there was excitement, but on days 2 and 3 I was hangry! After the first week, I got used to it and am now ready to get this over with. This morning I have lost nearly 15 lbs since starting the liquid diet.

I've been using the Premier Protein shakes (30g/serving), which I bought from Amazon. I am hoping that I can still stomach them afterwards because I still have quite a few, and I hate the idea of stirring powder into the tiny amounts of liquid I'll be able to drink in the first month. Fingers crossed.

All the best to you. [emoji4]
