How exciting! It makes a big diference when you actually get a surgery date ;) My surgery date was just changed to the 25th of June. I am waiting for my surgery packet to arrive and I have new labs to do. I am trying to get my house in order right now so I will be ready. The excitement is building!

I cant believe I have a date! I have been working to get approved for so long! I remember back in 2004 when I first tried to get the surgery being so excited then being denied because of an exclusion. oh how far ive come! Nothing is gonna stop me now!

It's going to be ok.. Not only am I going through the same thing, but I am a therapist. You are worlds away from me, but we are world in the same. I TOTALLY understand the co-worker crap and non support in the workplace, cause at least for me they want me to work and never take a day off... and sizeism too.  But, don't fret. At home your doctor should have provided you w/ a dietician/nutritionist... but to be safe I've been told to have sugar free popsicles, make sure you have HIGH protien liquids, the shakes are really good (NECTAR) um, also GNC.com has a variety of things you can get cheaper. Also, broths, sugar free jello. If you have a place like a Smart and Final store... they sell one-two ounce diddies to measure your intake w/ the liquids..  Make sure you take your vitamins (MV, Iron, Calcium) and I opted for B12 shots... they don't hurt at all.

Hey all June 1sters... I'm right here w/ you. I live in Bakersfield, CA - South of Fresno. Today is the last day I can eat solid food. Kinda struggling w/ that whole kick, ya know? But, I've been preparing liquid wise for the past 4 weeks. I started the shakes then and have been on a 1200 calorie diet only to have lost 5 lbs. w/ daily hour exercise. FRIEND ME. I think it would be cool if all the people who posted for the same day could friend each other and we could then literally be on the same page so to speak. I know for me I have a myriad of feelings at this time. I'm VERY emotional. Kinda feel like I'm losing an old friend. Grateful to know I'll be reinventing this body from scratch in a sense and very nervous/excited. What about you?
