I so glad my insurance made me take classes

Those 6 months worth of nutrition classes that Blue Cross makes you take before having surgery was the best thing ever. If I had this surgery back in 2005, things would probably be a lot different. I have really learned how to change my eating habits which helped me to lose a couple of pounds before surgery.

Here I am scheduled to have surgery on 9/16/09. I am so nervous, but at the same time excited.
What will I look like, how will my body change, will I be too skinny....lol (after being fat almost all my life) what will people say, how will they react. Oh well who cares....lol I will feel so much better and it's all about me
Good luck to everyone scheduled to have surgery this month and future months ahead.

Congrats to you. That's only a couple a weeks away you are on ya way to a wonderful journey. Time is going to go by so fast and you will be on the losers bench sharing ya success.Im happy for you.

Thanks you so much. I can't wait to be on the losers bench.

Congratulations to you!!! See on you the losers side!!!

Thanks Annelle. How long has it been since your surgery?

I haven't had it yet. I am scheduled for 9/9/09.  I slighty nervous and excited at the same time. 

I am both nervous and excited. Starting to have these little crying spells.

Surprisingly, I haven't had any crying spells yet. I supposed it'll kick in this weekend or early next week. I'm still working up until this Friday so this keeps my mind occupied.

Tuesday will probably be when I break down. I can only have liquid foods all day PLUS I have to take masssive amounts of antibiotics which may make me sick. YIKES!

We will get through this with flying colors.

You will do good.
I am waiting to hear from friends who are scheduled to have surgery like the week before me to see how they made out.
Liquids the following week too. Two days before surgery

Congratulations and good luck to both of you.  I am right in there with you...my surgery is TUESDAY 9-8-2009!!  I too am a bit nervous but very excited.  I am just ready to start this journey and see what difference it will make for me and how I will be able to incorporate my healthier habits into my family.  Hopefully, I'll get it to where they will be eating healthier too!
