Congrats...Jan 19Th is going to rock!!

I think we ALL have had that thought pass through our minds b4..."ill just eat less" and then we do for a while and then we cheat and then we think..."well, I'll do better tomorrow" and then the next thing you know you have broken another toilet seat/your best friends antique chair/your husbands heavy duty 4X4 drivers seat in his off road jeep and you realize "it's not working!!"
(not that any of that has happened to me...Yeahhh Righttt...all of the above..sad but true!)

SF Cherry lime-aide for me for breakfast....yummy! I do like sweet things for breakfast...i only had a few Min's of freak out when i woke up and thought about what i was going to make for breakfast and then realized that it was more of what was i going to DRINK for breakfast!!
7 hours into the liquid diet...so far so good!!!  LOL

Snoops.. Thanks so much for posting.. I too am going in on the 6th, and have HUGE butterflies in my tummy... BUT they are GOOD ones. I know that this is what I need to SAVE MY LIFE..   I can't wait to share our experiences... Keep in touch and if I don't hear from you for a while, know this, you are in my prayers, and I wish you the most uneventful surgery with the speediest of recoveries...  

Chat with with you on the other side of this journey!!!

Big Hugs,
Jenn

I gotta tell ya, as dumb as it sounds, i too was 2nd guessing the need for surgery, i mean if we can do what is needed before it why not keep it up instead of... and you are right, because it doesn't work that way. that "full feeling" will not come when you have a football to fill and still have to pee....lol. I gotta tell ya, I'm nervious and scared, but also VERY excited about my surgery. Jan. 19 2009

Sorry to hear she wasn't happy for you!!!!  Its your decision to have this done, not hers.  You have thought long and hard and have made the choice to do what you feel is right for you.  Not everyone is going to agree.  But, if she is your true friend she will support you.  She will come around.  If not, all of us here are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again I'm up in the middle of the night.......on here........can I please just get some sleep??????  I'm just so excitied and ready to start my "NEw ME PlAn" ...............

You guys are TOO FUNNY!
If that stuff worked, we would have all lost all of our weight in the 80's when Medifast Shakes were "the" doctor supervised diet miracle of the decade. After less than 1 week, I was cheating on that, too. It's a fact that we need real food to fill us up and to satisfy us emotionally. Good Luck to both of you on the liquids pre-op!
