Roll Call

How many folks out there have 8/3 as their surgery date? Marla

Hey Marla!! I'm the day before you... 8/2...and losing my mind waiting!!! I'm like you... just want to sleep until then, but I know I need to keep busy... my biggest problem is that I had to lose 10 lbs. to get a date for surgery, and now I've gained almost all of it back! I'm obsessed with what I won't be able to eat after... not that I'm not willing to give it ALL up, I am! But right now all I can think about is big bowls of spaghetti and junk food like ring dings and cake!!! I go for preop blood work on the 21st, so I need to get it in gear and lose those 10 AGAIN before I see the surgeon so he doesn't cancel me. What a yo-yo I am!!!! So what are you doing to pass the time otherwise???? I haven't started packing yet, but have been cleaning my house... (like it'll stay clean with 2 kids) Teri S

Hey Lady, oh boy, I am not the only one! At least I don't have to loose weight. Have been eating my way through the kitchen. I try to get to Y 3-4 times a week. Doctors apts, bad knees, shrink, food oh I said that. No house cleaning. Can do that when I am slimmer and have more energy. Marla

I am the day after Marla. BoY I hope the losers bench is long. ;-D. There are a lot of August babies. Hijacking this a bit...how many feel overwhelmed when they think after with the protien,,vitamin thing. Thats whats making me nervous..thinking, can I do this. Mary

Do I ever understand! Went out to lunch, had a rib plate that would feed an army. Suprise! I could only eat not even a fourth! I too wonder if I can get all the vits, water and etc in...bet I can, if I try! Marla

I'm on 8/3 also. Have to be there at 7:00 a.m. I've having the DS. Anyone else? Getting kinda scared, but still mostly excited! -joanne

Joanne, I'm scard also! Some days I have second thoughts. Then others, I cant wait. Going a bit crazy. Good luck to you. See you on the loosers bench. Marla
