Dena, I see that you're having surgery on Monday, and I wanted to let you know that it's nowhere near as bad as I had been led to believe. I just had my surgery ten days ago (4/20/17), and feel almost healed. I drink my shakes, sip my water and lose about a pound a day. I had several complications during surgery due to some unrelated health issues, and I still was up and ready to leave by the third day. I have never been in serious pain, and I can drink my shakes withotu feeling overfull, despite what I had heard.
Enough about me. If you are nervous, it's only natural. Surgery is not a walk in the park for anyone, which is why you probably had to do a ton of prep. You'll do fine, and I'll be virtually holding your hand. I hope you have shakes, jello, and diet juice at home and on hand for when you return. I got my things in advance, and am so glad I did. Train a family member or two to make your shakes for the first day or two at home. I like mine with twelve ice cubes and run through the blender. My daughter made them for me for the first few days.
Anyway, get some rest, and I hope my experience so far is helping you feel less nervous. Remember, you have lots of people rooting for you!
