Topic: RE: Surgery schedule 5/28/03
I don't know if you have anyone to hold your hand while your going through this, but just know that I am out here praying for you. There is nothing to fear, just follow your God's will and the doctor's orders and it will be okay. My fears were that I would not lose the weight even after having the surgery, silly since it was impossible not to lose the weght. I am 4 months Post-op and have lost 60lbs, already and so loving it. Maybe to conquer your fear, you might look ahead at the final results instead of the surgery itself. I will be praying for you, once you get out, please keep me informed on your recovery.

Topic: RE: 28th is the day
Hi Jennifer,
I am also having surgery the 28th of this month. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come. Even though I have been waiting so long, I am still a little scared. More anxious and excited. But, you have every right to be nervous since you haven't had a lot of time to plan. I don't really know what to tell you as far as vitamins and food go. I can tell you what I have bought. But, I don't know yet what I will be able to eat and so forth. I got some soy protein powder. Vanilla and choclate. I figure I will make different things with these. I bought some flintstones chewable vitamins, sugar free tums, and some viativ chews for calcium. Of course the obligatory bottled water and lots of it, sugar free pudding and sugar free jello gelatin. Mashed potatoes and broth, cream soups. Some crystal light raspberry lemonade and juices. That's about it for right now. I figured I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff, I may not be able to tolerate. Oh yeah, I also bought some tic tacs. I read on this site that a lot of people brought tic tacs because you don't have to worry about swallowing them, when you can't drink they freshen your mouth and they are not high in sugar. So, I'm going to try those. I figure if they don't work I will just give them to my kids. Good luck to you. I hope I helped a little. Please keep in touch. I know you will be fine.~Carmen

My surgery date is on MAy 30th 2003, just 3 days away and my mom had a Heart Attack today. She was sapposed to Fly up here from Florida on wenesday and well we just don't think she will be well enough to do that, so it looks as though i may have to postpone my surgery ={ and only God knows how long from now that will be.

Topic: About 24 more hours until my Watershed!!
Thank you, Jesus, for this opportunity to get another chance and being healthy and energetic to be able to work more for You!! Tomorrow at 10:30, I'm on my way!!!! I ate a couple of things yesterday for the last time for at least a year (that's how long I'm giving myself before I even taste any "junk"). My doctor doesn't require the "roto-rooter" bowl cleaning. I'm just on clear liquids ONLY today. See you all on the other side!!
Topic: 3 days to go
today is the last day I will eat solid foods for quite some time. I am so excited and worried about the next two days b/4 surgery how will I ever get thru them I am going to keep myself as busy as possible, and I fear that something will go wrong to delay I have waited so long. I am sure I have become parinoid I am getting over a cold and now if anyone sneeze's near me I take off in the opisite direction. Well no bar- b- que this memorial day just jello. l I am off to my last meal and have always wanted to go to a black angus but their are none in our area so today I will travel a bit and have my last feast for the rest of my life. good luck to everyone having their surgery soon.see you on the other side.
