My date is slowly approching I am hungry. It's only been 2 days of liquid diet but I have had to turn off the TV b/c of the all of the food that gets blasted at you. Eleven days till my surgery and I get so excited that I have to remind myself to breathe. I'm worried about my Lupus and what it will do after the surgery. Anyone else with a pre-exisiting chronic condition?

Hi again I am having surgery on Nov 19th in Mass at the Newton Wellesley Hospital. Let share together the journey... Good Luck Megan W butch074

I agree Let celebrate in style.. Let say we get together on Thanksgiving day if You going to your families, I said I am not going to my inlaws.. I probably be home recovery from surgery and be online as much as I can with my water and my protein shake so let say we make a date! I wonder protein turkey it is just a dream...LOL Talk ya later Megan W butch074

I'm starting to get excited, but I'll be more excited once the house is in order and the checkbook is balanced. I'm excited to catch up on movies, as I'm going to upgrade my Netflix list to the max # of movies at a time, in an attempt to avoid commercial television (and food ads) while I'm healing. I've already arranged childcare/transport and some playdates for them the weekend after. My mom will attend the school's Thanksgiving Lunch in my stead. And, I just sent an Evite for a prayer service at my house the night before. I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I'm not THAT excited. Maida

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!
