well hello there!

Hello there all! I thought I should get on here and introduce myself! I have been stalking this site for the last month and finally got my surgery date yesterday..November 9! I see there is at least one other person (hello!) that is on that day too! I went ahead and started my liquid diet today..not so bad. I don't know if I did it right or not, but it helped with my increasing anxiety over waiting for surgery. At least I feel like I am doing something! Well, thanks for reading my intro, and please feel free to add me as a friend, stalk me, whatever! i am just so excited for the whole thing, and am glad I found you all here! What a groovy idea!!

Hi Barb - Congratulations on getting a date --- and it's coming up so fast! I agree with you on your thoughts on the liquid diet. Seems like the real surgery process is finally beginning. I start mine on Monday but it arrived in the mail today. I'm hoping all use November Losers can get to know each other better and be a great support system for everyone here. Looks like we've got a big group started already! Pam

Thanks for the reply Pam! I have felt so spacey at work for the past couple of days, because my whole world right now is so centered around this. i even dream about it and see cute clothes that I will get to wear..I feel like I am going nuts here!! I also hope we can all get to know each other more, we are walking so blindly into this wonderful thing, we gotta have our buddies to help walk us through it all!

Hello, :wave: I got my surgery date as well. Mine is November 30th. quite a bit longer then yours but I am in there. I haven't gone to my preop apts yet. So you talk about a liquid diet prior to the surgery?? I am in the dark here. I thought I was pretty informed but I did not know about this. Tell me more. Where do I get it? When do I begin? Or is this something you get from the doc, maybe a script or something. Please let me know. Jeannie :secret:
