Hi Neena, Thanks so Much! I am excited and nervous at the same time... I wish I could explain all of my feelings at the moment, nervous and excited just doesn't quite cut it! Thanks for your support and congrats on your surgery date as well! I am sure we will soon become the Svelt Sisters! Good Luck and God Bless! Bridget

Bridgit, It is so exciting having a date. Congratulations! Go shopping for some broth, sugarfree jello and pudding. Stock up on protein bars and supplements. And write those letters to loved ones. You'll be a loser soon! Luann

August 8th is my date too. I think we all share the same gamut of emotions right now. Luckily I am taking a 10 day vacation the week before my surgery, so it will keep my mind off the nerve racking things. Age: 39 Height: 6' Weight: 330 Goal: 215 Surg Date: 8/8/2005 Rob Mansfield, TX

It' my date too!!! And go through very same "thing" people described above.. One thing I know is that it's all for the better..... the best to all of you.... and lets' talk "on the other side"..

i think we are all nervous and excited. i still feel that it is not a for sure thing yet. i have waited for so long and now it is scheduled but well, you know what i mean. i have stocked up on samples of just about every kind of protein drink and powder, and jello's and broth's. a lot of people have gotten that magic bullet for when they are on pureed foods and soft foods. i already have one so i have that set for me too. i will be going to my aunts house to recover for two weeks so i am taking everything with me. i heard that our taste buds sometimes change after surgery so i bought a lot of samples. hopefully they don't change too much. i have started packing my bag for the hospital. a few hand hel computer games, chap stick and sugar free mints for the two days that i can't drink or eat anything.. and a book or two, and of course the portable dvd player with headphones since i don't know if i get to share a room or not. i know that my surgeon keeps us for 4 days. no matter what to make sure there is no complications. which is okay by me. i also packed my own clothes (loose ones) and my own slip one slippers and hair stuff. dont care about the makeup. my eye liner is tattoed on so i am set there. my current stats are age-28 height- 5'10" weight- 270 goal-170 or so ( i would be happy to see the scale at 200) see you all on the loosing side sara

Me too !!! I guess we are all part of the fantastic 08/08 CLUB. Mmm maybe I need to get my eyeliner tatooed. Yipeee. Dorise
