June 19th... HOLLA!

Well hello all my fellow June 19th'ers. Are you getting excited, nervous, all of the above. I am curious to see what you are all doing to get ready including, diet, bowel preps, packing lists etc.... We are almost LOSERS!!!!!!!!!! Joni

I'm on the 20th...trying to stay with a modified liquid diet. I wasn't given much direction in that regard...just trying a little common since. I'm going fairly hardcore tomorrow, though. I have heard it goes a lot better if you drop a few pounds before surgery. I already packed my hospital bag. Pillow, chapstick, hairbands. I'm going to wear the same thing home that I go to the hospital in..T-shirt and sweatpants. If all goes well, I will only be in the hospital overnight. I plan on being too busy walking the halls to need anything else. Regarding bowel prep., there is a fairly detailed posting for June surgeries..you may want to check that one out..

YEAH I cant wait I too am soooo excited. I start on clear liquids on friday and bowel prep on fathers day

Hello iam a fellow Jun 19ther.. I am so excited i cant belive its coming so soon.. I am not nervous at all I dont things will be that way monday morn but hey thats normal righ!?!?!?! I start clear liquids on friday as well ick is all i can say to that.. I have to be at the hospital monday at 9am surgurey at 11am. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.. HAPPY LOOSING

Thanks Joni for starting this I am not to nervous now but probably sunday noght I probably will not even sleep much. I have been so busy at work and also a situation on my thigh.(look on my website for details). I also been interviewing for a position so alot has been going on I have not had time to be nervous. I also been working alot of OT. The procrastinator I am I need to clean my house and get things together this weekend. I was thinking I need to make a trip to Walmart. Good luck to ALL the JUNE 19 and in a few days we will be on the losing side(in weight) but also in the gaining side with a new,prosperous and healthier life. Let none of us give up Sweetrose
