Your surgery is the day after mine, and I know exactly how you feel!
I know getting a surgery date makes everything seem much more "real" so that it's not just an idea but an actual plan. Congratulations! :)

Thank you. I see your date is fast approaching, too! How exciting! :) Keep me posted on your progress.
Topic: March 30th.....YAY!!!
My surgery date is scheduled for March 30th. That is like 6 weeks from now....ARGH!! Crazy. I cannot believe this process is coming to an end. Well of course it's not the end...it is more like a "re-birth".
So I am pretty darn excited.
My surgeon is Dr. John Schram at the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Topic: RE: Two week countdown...
I'm ready to get this show on the road too!! I really just want this to be the day after surgery already.
I have not started a liquid diet. Dr. Moazzez said that as long as I lose 5-10 lbs. before surgery, I only have to do clear liquids for 48 hours before surgery. I'm soooo happy about that!!
I had a dream the other night that I didn't lose any weight after surgery....and a bunch of other weird stuff. When I woke up I was in a complete panic! That was the first time I have even felt nervous...but I haven't been able to shake that nervous feeling since.
It seems so surreal that two weeks from now I will have had my surgery. I thought that the time would pass really slowly as I waited, but it's flying by and it's kind-of freaking me out!

Topic: Two week countdown...
So we've started the two week countdown until the March group starts having surgery. A little over six weeks from now and all of us will have taken the steps to change our lives forever.
Have any of you started a liquid diet yet? How's that going?
What are your thoughts/feelings as the time draws near?
I don't know about the rest of you, but as nervous as I am...I'm ready to "get this show on the road!"

It's too bad that we weren't in the same group nutrition class. I'm getting nervous...where did that come from? I haven't been nervous at all until last night!
