Congratulation on your date ..... and welcome

My date is Sept 24. I would like to know if you are obsessing over anything yet? Right now min is a will. Crystal

Crystal,

I am trying not to obsess but two things keep coming to my mind...one is getting a will done (I am a single parent and need one anyway.)

The other thing that I have found that I have on my mind lately is food. Food is a very social thing for me...out to lunch with co-workers, family celebrations. I am an emotional eater too so I am trying to work through all the emotions that come along with the this surgery. I need to start on a low carb, high protein diet in the next few days before surgery.

Do you have to do a pre-surgery diet? Please let me know how things go!!

My date is the 17th. our days will be here before we know it. Is there anything special that you are doing to prepare?

I am SO excited...I hope that the time flies by till the surgery date.

I have to do a low carb, high protein diet before surgery.

What about you? Anything special to get ready?

Nothing specific as far as diet. I did adkins for the 6 month diet and have not done well sticking to it since approval. I have only gained 3 lbs but I have to stop now. Or Monday:) My dh and I are doing a 15 year anniversary trip this weekend and I do not know what I'll be eating. Then on the 17th I will get my preop diet.

I have no childern but I know if my dh and I died at the same time with no will there would be carnage from my side of the family. Bodies everywhere, severed limbs, my stuff going to the quickest and slyest. Sorry for the pic.

One more day down 21 to go for me 23 for you. Crystal

Hi Jen,
I'm having my Realize Band surgery on Monday, Sept. 29th.  I made some homemade beef broth today and froze it.  I'm starting to freak out a little but mostly am just excited.  I just hope this month goes fast!!!
