Anyone else on May 25th?

My WLS date is May 25th. I'm very excited and anxious. It seems like such a long way off. I find myself eating everything in sight. Is anyone else like this? I would love to get some weight off before surgery (my surgeon does not require it), but there's all these things I want to have before surgery. I do everything to the extreme, so I know after WLS I'll diet to the extreme too. Good luck to everyone. If there are a few of us May 25th'ers maybe we can form a little group to help the time go by faster? Ed

Hey Ed, My surgery is on May 25 as well! I think it is easy to crave all kinds of foods before surgery, but just remember, you WILL be able to eat them again, just in moderation...thats how im getting through. Also, my surgeon told me that a little weight loss can help shrink the size of the gallbladder and make the surgery much easier for him. ( Less chance of knicking it as it is close ) So, when I really want that snickers, I just tell myself that it will all be worth it in 63 days! Good luck! Ellen

Hey Ed- I'm not may 25th, but just before---May 23- Congrats on your date!! i agree that it is exciting and seems like such a long way off! I'm trying to go ahead adn watch sugar and all that stuff now, so I'll be used to it after surgery. Take care and keep me posted.....Lisa
