I am struggling, a lot. My liquid diet has been all liquid so far today but maybe not exactly the liquids they advised. I went out to eat with my family, because they are still in town after thanksgiving, and I did well. I brought one of my shakes with me and drank that while they ate. The waitress kind of looked at me funny. Guess I'll have to get used to that. I did have some vodka which kinda of distracted me. Shhhh don't tell anyone. I am slowly coming to the realization that I won't be able to eat like Im used to. I'll get through this. Hopefully.

I'm going through the mail process of getting my passport card now. I know I should just get the passport but right now every penny counts, passport card is way cheaper. I'm so excited. I've made a list of things I need to buy from the grocery store for my pre-op liquid diet. I've noticed people on here have different lengths of pre-op diet. Some 2 weeks, or 1 week. Seems kinda insane to go 3 weeks on just liquid, but I will do whatever they say because I want this process to go as smooth as possible. Being on a liquid diet the entire month of December(with the pre-op and post-op)seems a little daunting, but I'll try to think of the end result. I'm excited to be starting a new chapter in my life. One where I don't have to be cognizant of where my behind goes, and how I can make myself small in the space I'm given. I'm looking forward to the future.

I am finally making a post on this site. I have been lurking around for months and gathering information. I am exactly one month out and extremely nervous. I have to start my 3 week pre-of diet in 1 week. I'm just glad it's after Thanksgiving. I have booked my flight and I'm checking my pre-op checklist. I'm really excited, but really nervous at the same time. Anyone who can offer any tips about anything would be greatly appreciated.
