New here with a 5/7 date

Hello everyone,

I am so glad I found this site. I just got approved and scheduled for May 7. I am excited and nervous. I have tons of support from my mom and dad who live in the same town, but only semi support from my husband. He wants to support me but doesn't reallly get it.

I am hoping people here get it. I am in Michigan and am checking out that forum too but I think right now I need people in the same stage as me.

Thanks for being here - Lauren

Congrats on your approval & date. I hope ur hubby gets on board and with the program. Support from every one especially your spouse is vital for your success.
Good Luck!

Hi there...Where are you having surgery?  I'm having surgery on May 7 as well at Barix in Ypsilanti.

Wow!  Congrats!

Hi Lauren  welcome!  this is awesome  gees  you are just  around  the corner! GOOD LUCK GIRL!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I am having it done at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor - not far at all from Ypsi! I am nervous about doing everything right and fitting in all of the protein, vitamins, and water.

I can totally relate girl. My husband isn't 1oo% into this as he doesn't beleive I will stick to this, boy is ever so wrong. In fact my surgery is May 1 in Mobile , Alabama at Mobile Infirmary Medical Center and he leaves (for his job) Sun May 3 and will be gone for 2 weeks, 1 week in England & 1 week in Italy. I am not doing too bad on the 10-day liquid diet but dreading the magnesium citrate I have to take the night before.  I found some cherry flavor at the drugstore, Wal-Mart doesn't carry it, I think maybe if I mix it wih some Twisted Cherry Nectar it will help me get it down better.   Mt friend said just hold your nose and down it. NO WAY!!. Do you know about the website "theworldaccordingtoeggface.com" is really good for recipe ideas, she has lots of shake recipes, protein ice cream, etc  I like to look there for when we get to pured and soft foods and beyond.    Goood Luck again for your surgery and will be praying for you all.                            Linda
