Well, tomorrow is the day! I've waited 9 months for this. I'm nervous and anxious. I have complete confidence in my surgeon. I'm starting to have some doubts about me, not the surgery.

Hi. I am feeling so overwhelmed at what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat, how much to drink, when to drink...etc. Did/does anyone else feel that way? I've gotten the OK from my doctor, all pre-testing has been done, just waiting on the OK from insurance. I know I start the liquid diet for 2...
