    Default surgery in 3 days!

    I'm nervous/excited/terrified.

    I've been very awesome on my 2 week full liquid diet (it was difficult, me being a nurse and all, I sometimes felt like I was going to fall over some days when I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off) I've only cheat twice, but with healthy foods.
    My question is this: what did you tell yourself the last couple of days, and what did you do to prepare mentally? I've already packed what I would need for the surgery, but I still almost feel like it's totally unreal how small my tummy will be, and how the hell can I get enough fluids in. It just seems surreal.

    Any tips, let me know! This will be the longest three days of my life (and I have work 2 of them!)

    No real tips. Just do everything the doc says to do. Sip, sleep, take your medication. Work will help the next few days fly by. Best wishes!!!
