Anyway i woke up this morning and my kids all have stiffy noses so I am staying clear of them.... I have to drink my yummy "cleaning out" drink tomorrow, and now it is just approaching so fast...Of course yesterday i heard horror stories from my family,"oh i knew this lady that had it and she looks horrible" well ya know she probably didnt follow the rules, I dont know but thats not me, so jus****ch me and see how i do was my answer...what else can you say to that...

Hi Jenni, I understand all the emotions you are going through! I had plenty of crying-episodes prior to my surgery... and the only thing I can say is that it's not easy, but it's completely normal! As for those dang nay-sayers... I didn't have to deal with that so much before surgery, but had a few people (nurses) make comments to me right AFTER surgery that really made it hard not to be in doubt over what I'd just "done to myself". I wrote down just about everything I could remember from my RNY surgery in my profile if you're interested in reading about it, I hope it helps. This is the hard part (the waiting, the uncertainty)... you can deal with whatever comes along after surgery... it's only that fear of the unknown that's so hard to deal with... but you'll be FINE and before you know it, you'll be back here posting that you're home and why the heck can't they make protein come in a pill!!! ((((HUGS)))) Marilyn

Hi Jenni, So nice to have a friend that doesnt talk back yet listens and knows your mood isnt it?? I havent ridden in 6 years... I miss that alot. Hopefully I'll get back to that in the near future. Thanks for the info on the email. I'm keeping you in my prayers gf, for an uneventful surgery and a speeedy recovery. Just think..... you are ready to start your new life... Im soo excited for you. Remember also, that altho we can't be there physically with you.... we are all still there... cheering you on... reminding you to save the rest of us a seat on that bench Huggs & Blessings, Lori
