Topic: RE: Jealous Co-workers
I know how that feels I am having surgery on the 7th and some of my co-workers try and make me feel as though I am taking the "easy" way out, Hell there is nothing easy about any of this. I am greatful that I will have a tool to help me control what I can't seem to do on my own. Best of luck to all of us up coming "losers" LOL.
Well I finally have my date it is January 7th 2009, So I will be starting off in the new year with a new me.

Topic: RE: Surgery in 9 days
Jess,
Welcome to the OH family. You will find some very helpful support here. I post on the Cali board and read that for inspiration and answers to questions from those that have already blazed the trail. I love this board because we're all doin' this journey together and it's so nice to know you're not alone.
I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. It's not too bad. I get 3 slim fasts and as much broth, sf jello, diet soda, clear tea or coffee (with sweetner) that I want. One of the experienced posters from the Cali board recommended straining regular soup (not creamed) and drink the broth, because it has such a better flavor than the broth, WOW is she right. I am sitting her with light Progresso italian vegetable, and I think I am in heaven!
We'll all be on that loser bench before we know it. We're in this together!
I will keep the Jan 09 board in my thoughts and prayers as we go through this month and then the wild ride that follows.
Always,
Barb

Topic: RE: nervous...
Hello Sheda, I am having my surgery on the 7th and yeah to say i am nervous is an understatement, I think I have worried myself into an ulcer LOL. I too am a BIG gum chewer since I quit smoking 11mos ago so I will have to ask about that I never even thought anything about that, but I never swallow mine I always spit mine out. But good luck to you and to all of us starting out the new year of 2009on the right path.
Hugs :) Jan
