Think positive. Think about your dreams coming true. I am so happy for you to be part of our group. There are some really nice people on our forum. When I post I like to post here. Next year in April we are going to have a 1 year reunion right here.

I bought a journal and have a white board on my fridge. Everyday I erased a number.

My cupboards are looking the same way!  I haven't been buying any new groceries with the exception of milk, fruit, veggies, etc. that can't keep.  My surgery is on the 29th.  As my surgery date has gotten closer, I have been a lot more relaxed about my eating habits.  I was feeling really guilty about it until someone brought up the "last meal" at a support group meeting I went to.  The nutritionist who runs the meeting and all the post-ops said GO FOR IT.  They said its better to satisfy your cravings now so you wont be so driven to overindulge after surgery.  So I gave myself a little break and I have been going out to eat every time I am invited.  It's been fun having "the last meal" of su****hai, chinese, and mexican - and enjoying a few beers or glasses of wine too! 

I don't know what my pre-op diet is going to be yet, I have my pre-op class tomorrow and I will find out then.  I don't think my doctor does a long preop diet though. From what I heard its only a couple of days.

I am with you too April 8 is my new day!!!

Ideally I'll have all my proof of name change paperwork by the end of this week.  Then I'll go apply at the post office and use my receipt, driver's license and birth certificate to cross into Mexico.  Yeah, if I do need to postpone it will be torture.  I'll keep you  posted.

Thank you
