May 19th !!!!!

Yesterday I was ready to take a hiatus from worrying about when a call would come through and wouldn't you know it came today! I go for testing April 28 and then I'll have a few days before I start what I hope will be a successful 2 weeks of clear liquids to help prepare my body. No one said it would be easy and in the grand scheme of things it's a very short time in comparison to the rest of my life.....so much to do before the 19th!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DATE! Kim! That is great! 2 weeks of liquid diet? OMG! I better check and see what my doctor requires. I think he only puts us on a 3 day diet. In the meantime, I feel like I'm walking the "Green Mile". That's what we call it at work. They ask me every day where I want to go to lunch to get any food I won't be able to eat post op. Anyway, my date is May 28th, all my big tests are done and all I have to do is meet with the dietician and the surgeon one more time and thats it. Ready, willing and able to go! Good luck! Luanne

That's my date too! Congrats and good luck. Mel (NYC)

Hi. When do you go in for your preop testing? I go on the 28th of April. I can't believe surgery is so close at hand. I am going through the whole range of emotions right now..I eye every bite of food like it might be my last....I'm trying very hard not to overeat. I'm sort of giving myself to the 28th to eat what I like, then after that start a slow change so my body doesn't go into shock on the 19th. Let me know how you do. Kim in Ohio
