Hang in there sweetie!!

Sheda,

Hey we're gonna be surgi sisters!  I am on the 8th too.  Please know that you ar not alone, I am nervous too.  I am ok with being put out, but like you I don't want to see the OR.  One thing the anesthesiologist said was that I could bring my ipod with me and I think that might help settle me down.  I am more worried that I won't be able to get in all my water, I will be sick, I won't like the protein drinks etc. after surgery.  I know I will be successful but nevertheless it's a huge life change.

I too have a habit of swallowing gum, but knowing that I have really been avoiding it.  I don't really need it, so it's not like I HAVE to have it.

So hang in there and we'll get through this together ok?

Hi Jess,

I've been doing slim fast. Although my surgeon did not recommend me to lose any weight pre-op. But they do want me to do this 1000 low cal diet to make sure my gall bladder shrinks before surgery. It's just the most easiet one to do quick.

Hi Tamara...good luck to you!!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say good luck to everyone on their journey this month. My surgery will be Jan 12, 2009 and I very nervous and excited. I have been preparing myself mentally, and trying the get my home in order. I still have to get a few things but overall I'm ready to start this incredible journey. I will keep everyone of you in my prayers!!!!!!!
