I have a date! July 5, 2005

Hello Everyone.... I am a newbie and looking forward to joining in the giving and receiving of all of the wonderful advice and support. I am very excited to have the surgery. I had my "last supper" tonight. It consisted of pizza, potato chips and caramels . I will officially begin my pre-op diet tomorrow morning. I'm psyched and ready to go. Brenda

Welcome Brenda, I had my "last supper" last night, I had a baked potato, roast beef and a little later, dairy queen pecan mudslide. I began my optifast diet today, it was rougher than I expected. My date is the 13th, I was telling my husband that I can understand a week or even two of this diet but 3 1/2 weeks is rough. I'll make it through and so will you. Good luck and welcome to July!!!

Hello Brenda. Welcome to our little corner of the world. Good luck with your pre-op diet.

Hello Brenda, Congratulations! We share surgery dates. I feel like I cannot get enough info about what to be prepared for post-op. I had a real reality check today though. My son said "look mom the milk expires the day of your surgery". WOW, I didn't really think of it being that close! Yikes, I just don't feel like I am prepared enough yet. I kind of feel like I did with my first kid, never fully prepared! Anyway, Congrats again on your surgery date! Blessings, Crystal

Congrats. I'm also a 5 July baby! My last meal consisted of ribeye, baked sweet potato, and brownies with cream cheese frosting. I'm so ready to be on the losing side (hoping to lose a few pounds on my pre-op). Take care, Maria

Congrats Brenda!!! You'll love this board - they're GREAT! Looking forward to getting to know ya better! HUGS Kimberly
