Thank you everyone! I am very excited about my upcoming surgery. I am ready for this change that is about to take place. I purchased several books on WLS online, and I am reading everything I can get my hands on regarding how to prepare for surgery. I stopped drinking carbonated beverages the day I got my surgery date, and I am working on weaning off of caffeine as I plan to be caffeine-free by the time of surgery. Also, I plan to start exercising regularly beforehand. If any one has advice or tips for me I would appreciate them.
