Topic: RE: Oct 9th - I'm wayyyyy excited!

WIshing for perfection is a nice thought, but often lets you down I am sure as no one is perfect.

I have been blogging my journey since 2002.

We are all going to make mistakes and that is the beauty of keeping documentation of your journey so you do not make the same mistakes twice and you can learn from them.

George Santayana (1863-1952) actually said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

I am a firm believer in that.

Work on it when you can, but it is a great idea.

if you do not feel comfortable doing it here do it somewhere you feel safe.

Good luck you can do it!

I'm doing alright on the pre op diet, but it's only day 2 so - we'll see. If you were in Jacksonville, FL, I'd think we have the same doctor. It seems most folks here do a full liquid pre op diet. I don't think I could manage to do all liquids for 2 weeks with my full stomach. I'm counting on the sleeve to make clear and full liquid phases tolerable post op.

I have to do 1 week clear liquid, 1 week, full liquid, 3 weeks soft.

What about you?

I should blog. I think I'm afraid that I'll have to document my mistakes. I like to think of myself as perfect (no one else does, so I like to) and the last thing I'd want to do is look back at error after error. But - I suspect I'd have a much better chance of succeeding if I do face those mistakes, and learn from them. Don't they say that people who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it?

Are you blogging? I guess I could journal here at OH. I'll work on that. First things first - I need to do something about my profile.

Topic: My surgery date is Oct 13th!

My surgery date is Wednesday,October 13th. It's so very close to that big day. I have so many mix emotions at this point. I'm happy, excited, nervous, doubtful, anxious, afraid and so on. I just hope that everything goes well. This hopefully will be the beginning of a new life. A happy, successful one at that.
