Tomorrow morning I am checking into the University of Pennsylvania Hospital - Silverstein Pavilion for my bariatric surgery. I am getting the Gastric Bypass procedure.
I am full of anxiety - not about the actual surgery (I had my appendix removed back in '97 and that experience wasn't bad at all!) - but the fact that the next few weeks I will be on a liquid diet only, then moved to pureed foods, then soft foods. I will have to take calcium citrate and protein drinks and multi-vitimins.
Oh well ... here goes!!!
