Topic: 2 days till surgery!
YAAAYYY, i am so excited, but i am very nervous.
Does anyone have any last minute advice that can help me before i start this new journey in life.

Topic: RE: Monday is MY DAY
So we're surgi-sisters! Mine is at 7:30 am Monday. And my surgeon tells me he prays before every operation, which is awesome (he's Jewish, I'm Christian, but the same God loves us both!).
Blessings on your big day!

Sue,
Are you really ready for this surgery? To me it sounds as if you are not committed to this life style change. I personally would postpone the surgery until you are ready. You might want to post this on the "over 50" forum. There are a lot of very wise women there. I think you could use that sort of support right now.

I start a new chapter in my life on Monday. It is my surgery day. I am ready...it is all in God's hands, even my most capable surgeon who God has gifted to be an instrument in my new creation and rebirth. Blessings to all on this journey...where ever you are on the journey...............................

Hi Sheila, I guess you got your nervousness out of the way early that is a good thing.
I was only nervous the 2 days before but really calm on the day of. You will do great and we are always here to listen.

I am on the road to recovery, despite a nasty reaction to paper tape. Who knew? I can´t even describe what it looks like...not pretty! Hope my fellow surgery sisters/brothers are doing well.

Brown rice sugar or brown rice syrup is a a sugar but will not affect your blood sugar as refined sugar will. I eat totally organic foods and am learning that organic foods may have the same carb count and sugar count but they don't affect me the way processed food does. I have been on a totally organic diet for 3 months now and have lost 23 pounds without really trying.. The only real difference is my snacking stopped all on its on when I started eating organic foods.. go figure.

Very glad you are home, that things went well and that you are recovering nicely I just arrived home today myself and aside from the tremendous gas pain I have no complaints.
Topic: May 14th is my day !!
I am so excited. I am having the lap band procedure. Looking forward to chatting with all of you. I have to admit I'm scared and excited at the same time. I have some family support. From an ex-husband (imagine that) and my brothers and best friend. My dad is not crazy about it but I know in the long run he will be happy with me being healthier. I'm open to all tips and tricks for success. Thanks.
