Topic: September 21
Some days I cannot wait for the 21st to get here. Some days I am a
little anxious. I so want my procedure to be a successful tool for weight loss and improved health. I cannot help but have a little fear of the surgery itself and possible complications. I think as I have gotten older, I am more concerned about things like that.
I am afraid what to drink...How much to drink...What to eat...How often is often enough or too often.....I just want safe success.
I would love hearing some daily stories....Trials.....The truth.....No sugar coating....I want to know what I truly am facing surgically and in the initial post-op

I understand my surgery is Sept 13,07. I am scared and nerous and then I get happy. I am spending some time making a list and researching on what i need to get this week(vitamins and liquids and food i will need to for the next fews weeks). Helps takes my mind off of things for a minute or so. and plus being on obesity help site. I am thinking of what excerises i hope i will be able to do. I speak with my doctor on friday. WOW!!! My life is getting ready to change...It is a big step.

Breathe deep and be assured that you are in the good hands of very experienced people and in the thoughts of many people who have gone through or will be going through the same. Keep yourself as busy as you can and seek out the success stories. There is bound to be natural nervousness or worry, but if you feel it's uncontrollable, you may want to contact someone from your medical team ASAP.
Find the inner strength you used to make this decision and hang on tight :angel:
I wish you a speedy recovery ~ KimmyG

Topic: RE: Prep????
I have been on a liver shrinkage diet since July 10th and have lost 26 lbs. Then on the 8th I have to start my 3 day liquid diet prior to my surgery on th 11th. I can't imagine 10 days.
I am sure that I would do whatever my surgeon asked me to do to prep for the surgery though. Starting to get a little nervous.
