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.

MY BAG IS ALMOST COMPLETELY PACKED AND I AM 13 DAYS AWAY.  I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY.  I CAN PROCRASTINATE TILL THE COWS COME HOME AND BE ALL ' A.D.D.' ABOUT MOST THINGS, BUT WHEN THINGS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME,  THAT IS WHEN I GO INTO OVERDRIVE.  EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT!   DR. SPRUNGER PROMISED ME THAT HE WOULD WAKE ME IN THE RECOVERY ROOM.  I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WAS BUGGING ME,  WAS THE THOUGHT OF SOME UNKNOWN PERSON WAKING ME UP.  HE WAS LIKE  " IS THAT ALL YOUR WORRIED ABOUT ?  OF COURSE I WILL BE THERE TO WAKE YOU"  JUST REMIND ME BEFORE WE "KNOCK YOU OUT"  HE IS SUCH A SWEET MAN.  I LOVE HIM.  HE IS KINDA HANDSOME TOO SO IM LIKE " SHOOT, YOU CAN CUT ME OPEN ANYDAY LOVE"  LOL... NEVER TOLD HIM THAT THOUGH... MAYBE WHEN I AM STONED ON MEDS,,, KNOWING ME I PROBABLY WILL..LOL

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WAITING TO GET ON THE LOOZERS BENCH!

WOW that was fast! You need to be thankful LOL i had to wait 4 weeks. I know you are excited. hope to hear from you soon...sheree

My date is also sept 21st

It has been okay. Even though I found out the same thing after I went back over my pre-surgery paperwork. What I have been doing is drinking a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then eat dinner. Doing it that way has not been that bad. Just ready for Sept 1 to come. Oh yeah those night time munchies try to get me.
