    Thank you EVERYONE for the well wishes. As the old saying on posters from decades ago said "Today is the first day of the rest of your life", I'm embracing this thought.

    You got this Lori! It is what you have been working so hard for!! I didn't have to take a laxative before surgery. It is amazing to me how much differences there are from one surgeon to the next.

    I know, it's WILD, the differences from one surgeon's routine to the next. I feel I've gotten the extreme route!

    Good luck surgery buddy! Mine is scheduled for April 5th. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through this liquid phase.

    You can do it, I know you can! I did it- mind you, I griped and complained the entire time- but I did it... and lost over 12 pounds this last week alone. (Over 41 pounds gone since December.)
    I will let you know how it goes.
