This weekend I start my 10-day clear liquid diet. Are we having fun yet? I am truly looking forward to my surgery. I've been miserable for so long and have heard "just diet" for so many years, that I can hardly wait to start my new journey. So many people just do not understand that you cannot just diet. I did for a year and lost 60 pounds went home for Thanksgiving, started eating and put on the 60+ pounds and I still hear, just diet. Not only did I put all the weight back on, but I developed a compulsive eating disorder. I have five grown children and of course, they are very concerned, but I told them if it is my time to go, then it doesn't matter if I am on an operating table or if I walk out get hit by a Mack Truck. I just do not think about that. I am thinking only positive. The thing that bothers me the most is the dry mouth after surgery in the recovery room. From prior surgeries, I can remember how dry my mouth was. I am sure that I am in God's hands and God will be directing Dr. Warnock's hands. There comes a time when you just have to put your life in the Master's hands and have faith. Good luck to all of my June buddies. Kathleen Schwedler

Kathleen, My date is June 14 so I feel your pain about the liquid diet!! I had to do it for 14 days so I have already started. Honestly, ok I am only 2 days in but it's not that bad. Good luck to you and I will be remembering you in my thoughts and prayers!!!! Thanks, Shannon

Kathleen, we have the same perspective! I too believe God already has the date and time of my life here on earth settled on, and surgery or not, won't matter much. I too though will be writing letters, and carrying my power of attorney etc.. with me!! lol.. Good luck to you on the beginning of your journey. I think it's going to be an amazing ride for all of us, and since I'm going to be one of the last this month, I can't wait to join all of you on the loosing side! You all can check it out for me in advance, k?? he he... I hear ya on the baby food too.. That's on my dieticians list for me as well! Good luck, K
