OMG Almost there before I know it I'll be in surgery and I absolutely cannot wait. Am I too excited about this situation, or not. I can't even wait to start my liquid diet. Went shopping yesterday for my carnation breakfast, crystal light, light fruit juices. And soon this week for soups,jellos and puddings.Am I getting myself tooo high off the exciting things happening now compaired to what I know is going to be hard times after the surgery. I know that right now I am so happy and I know that it is going to be hard MAYBE not sure but getting myself ready I keep telling myself as I will continue doing, telling myself it is and will be worth everything you go through now at the end....Let me know am I looking at this thing in the right positive way or what!!!!???? I only question myself because I share my excitement with my family and friends. Some are excited with and for me some, I get this well you know its gonna be hard and well you know you gotta stick to the diet and what the doctors tell you and I'm like uummm well I really didn't know that like duh ok I really know that part already. Ok srrry had to vent a lil and where is better to vent then with the ppl who do understand. Srry so long wb and let me know something.................... Thank You. Stephanie White

I know where you are coming from! I am making myself wait to shop until my pre-op appt Oct19th.. then I will stock up on the things I need. I really want to just bounce aroung the house going WooHoo!..LOL. I am spending time getting this in my head.. after surgery I can only have this much chicken.. I have to have sugar free this or that... those kind of things. And I know that post-op I will feel like crap for the first week or so and that there will be pain, dumping, getting sick and a host of other issues.. but I, too, am just on cloud nine.. We can dance around togerther...LOL. I am getting mind done in York Nov.3... where are you getting done? Jacki K

We must have the exact same family because I hear the same things. They don't realize that we have to get excited or we will worry too much about the consequences. It's a scary enough thing to go through without you're loved ones freaking you out even more. My surgery is not until Nov. 22 so let me know how yours goes. Good Luck.

My surgery is on November 4th - but my birthday is November 22nd. I am excited and scared at the same time. My sisters (4 of them) are all behind me which is great. My husband isn't thrilled, but says he will be there for me..... Susann
