The countdown begins for the 1sters.......

Just 7 more days my friends! WOO HOO!! 1 week! Can you believe it? I am like still in shock. Just 8 more days for me and I am feeling very nervous and ready to jump out of my skin. But this is the best gift I could ever give myself. No doubts here. As each day approaches, it is all I can think about. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep WLS. LOL. The countdown begins. Good Luck everyone. You all are in my prayers. Erin

I have a million things to do. Mine is the 20th and I just realized that it is so close. LOL Seems like yesterday it was taking forever now September is almost here....Yippee or maybe it is yikes or both...I feel like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get ready for surgery. Good Luck Erin!!!!! Good Luck All September Losers!!! Marcia P.S. Who has everything ready? Bags for hospital, groceries for post op, house clean, etc etc etc????

I have everything ready, I hope. Been making my jello and getting my liquids and protein downstairs in mom's kitchen since I won't be going up and down the stairs to my rooms. Strangely enough, I do not feel nervous at all. Maybe I am still in dream mode, My mom is more nervous than I am. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I do not catch a cold or anything so my surgery won't be canceled. Hope I didn't jinx myself now. Otherwise I am ready to go! Whoooo Hooo! Doreen

Hi Doreen, I am so happy for you. It is a great feeling to have a "DATE". Sounds like your'e doing really well. I am so nervous, I have the jitters . God help me, I hope they go away , lol. Lets keep up the posting and see how everything goes. God Bless You and your family, Stay Well. Gloria

Wait, so that means it is 9 for me? Hum let me count..... Wow.... Where'd the week go? Last time I counted I had 11 days. I was once 360 something days away. Now only 9. Thanks for the excitement boost. I really needed that. Shannon

UNREAL!! It seemed like so far in the future....and now it is HERE!! Bought grits, SF instant pudding, baby food peaches and baby food yams, and Carnation Instant Breakfast at the grocery today.......got the whey, nectar, Crystal Light, etc........got the chewable vits and sublingual B12......but STILL no letter from TRICARE...........scares me...........so, I call again today (last talked to them 15July), and again they SWEAR I am approved, gave my the ref. auth number and all.......so I guess that is that. Reconfirmed my pre-op on Monday...ultrasound at 8, then to surgeon, then to anesthesiologist. I asked about the "cleaner outer" for the day/night before.............AND THEY DON'T DO THAT!!!! WOW....very strange, but certainly good news from my point of view! Now, if I can just get my husband to shape up......he decided tonight that there was no way I could take this risk...............HUH!

I am going to pack like the night before because I won't be able to sleep and will be so totally nervous so I'll be doing all kinds of stuff to work off the nervousness. I have ordered some protein powders from unjury.com but waiting to do them post-op. I will have to pick up the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast from Shaw's (they are like the only ones who have it in my area) probably the night before and the milk 1% or skim, probably 1%. I have my food scale ready. I still have to go through all of my cabinets to clean them out to make room for my stuff. I have a few groceries to pick up like the SF popsicles...(I hear they are a life saver) I have to pick up the Tums for calcium and the Flintstones Chewables too. But as for my house being clean that will be already done. Just some last minute stuff I will do but I believe that I am ready. OMG! Just 7 more days for me and 6 more for the 1sters....I can't believe it is happening already....WOO HOO! BRING IT ON!! LOL LOL LOL LOL Erin
