Topic: Got a Date--Took a Year!!!!
It took a year, but I have a date: August 4th. I'm excited but scared!

Yeah, I agree. I feel like the time has gone by somewhat slowly, but I was a bit relieved because I am a nursing mother, and I will be able to nurse longer. I am weaning my daughter in a couple of weeks before I start the liquid diet. Like you said abou the reading and researching..I've done that for a long time! Now I'm ready to get the show on the road!! I pray everything goes well with your surger! I grew up in Ky, and love that place!!!

I have known about my date since the end of May - the Friday before the Memorial Day holiday weekend. I believe it makes it harder to know so far in advance, but then again, it gives you more time to get prepared and to read and research and ask questions. Good Luck on your surgery. So far everyone that I've read who is having surgery in August is before me - but I'll be right there with you come the 21st of August!

Hello all..
I'm having RNY Gastric Bypass August 4th here in Charlotte, NC. I have looked and looke on this board for other august dates and FINALLY I saw a post! I have known my date since may, and so I guess other people don't find out until closer to their date. My surgeon is popular I guess!

anyway I hope all of you are doing well! I start my liquid diet July 21st!!

I'm glad you have a positive attitude. I believe some of this is attitude and if you start out with a strong positive attitude, I think you get farther before those 'bad tapes' start playing. Hopefully by the time they start, you are already on your way to a better, healthier body and feel good enough to take you through to the end. I hope the momentum I have right now gets me through the first year post-op. I am ready for a 'new me' also!
Have a great weekend and stay cool (if that is posible).

yea i have to do the 2 week liquids. That is going to be a long 2 weeks!! I am up for the challenge tho. Only because i know it is to get ready for the new me. If i can't make it through the 2 weeks before then i don't need to be going through it. LOL. I have started mentally preparing myself for it and preparing my family. I think they will be the hardest to get over the fact i won't be eating like i used to.
