I know you have the urge to have one last hurrah before your surgery, but try and resist. try and remember that the surgery is a tool to help you adapt to a lifestyle and mindset change.

best of luck with your diet, and surgery.

Thanks, Voodoo. I will be good. I have so many mixed emotions tonight, because tomorrow my life changes forever. For the better! It's just such a strange concept to me.

Oh, have something sweet at least with a ton of sugar. Because in 2 weeks, never again! LOL. I had a last supper moment too before the liquid diet. I had some really good orange chicken from my favorite chinese food place. Good luck to you!!!

Scrappyhun,
Just enjoy whatever takes your fancy, the diet your about to start will soon compensate for anything you might treat yourself to tonight.
As for the diet, well stay focused and remember it is for good reason, it will help the surgery go so much easier.
Whos to stay we wont eat our favorite foods in future? Until we try we wont know. But one thing for sure is we wont eat so much, no where near ha ha ha ..It will shock you how little you eat lol..... Without the hunger it is all so achievable, dont worry hun, you will be fine, you can do this..

Were with you all the way, were here for you longterm.

I just know you are going to do brilliantly!
You can do this, you are a success story in the making!

The first step to your journey of a life time! I thought I might want to go crazy with the food before going liquid, but when the time came, I was okay! The liquid diet was good for me emotionally as well as mentally because I knew if I could do this for a few weeks, then the rest of my life was going to be a long arse time of misery!
You'll do great and if you need to fuss, complain, whine, brag, share anything, we are here for you!

hugs,
Peggy
