@@@@@@@@@Tuesday Roll Call@@@@@@@@@@@@

Good Morning all July Peoples_ Hope everyone had a great 4th of JUly. Am up early cuz i feel so lousy with heartburn this AM. I start my liquid diet today, with just 10 days to go!!WOOOOHOOOOOOO!I'm actually relievved to be doin the liquids now cuz I think i really overdid the "last meals", if ya know what I mean!. Wish me luck and keep mein your prayers as I start this next part of my journey. Good luck to everyone with surgeries today. God be with you and your surgeon today, for an uneventful surg. and speedy recovery! Have a great day everyone!! Hugs, Pam

Surgery minus 9!! I am so ready. I am doing Atkins to drop some weight before hand. Don't have to do a liquid diet so... Good luck.

I was the exact same way. I was ready to give up food because I felt so aweful, stomach aches, heart burn, acid reflux etc. I've been on the liquid diet since June 20th and do feel much better although I really messed up this weekend. Getting back on track today though. Only 8 days to go for me. YIKES Good luck with your diet, you can do it.

Only 9 days to the big day. I am ready to say good bye to the blubber! Woo-hoo!! Sure I am scared but I am more afraid of remaining morbidly obese! Cheer up July babies! Soon we start a new journey!! Melanie

Wow - I thought I was a martian for semi looking forward to giving up "regular food" for a while! Guess I'm not the only one, after all. I had my main "last hurrah" this weekend and it was great, and I'm sure I'll have my post-op challenges, but I'm also feeling like it will be a relief to move on to the next stage! Not sure when / if I have to do a pre-op liquid diet. I'll find out Friday, I guess when I meet with my surgeon for my pre-op appointment. Good luck to everyone! Tara

Pam, good luck on your liquid diet, I start mine on thursday, my doctor only requires 4 days of liquid before surgery. We are all getting closer Julyers, before we know it we will be on the losing side and enjoying life. Everyone keep your heads up, I am praying for all of us. God Bless, Tina
