2 days away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just two days away from surgery. I have to be at St. Joesph East at 6:15am on the 29th. I am so ready...I think. I have done decent on the pre-op diet. I have lost 10 lbs. Which is not much but it is better than gaining 10 lbs. I have been trying the protein shakes. I like the Curves Chocolate Shake and Body Fortress Chocolate the best. Any other ideas out there? I can not wait to feel free...from plus size clothes, back pain, knee pain, heartburn, being afraid of a fat joke, and everyhting else that goes with being "chubby".
Please keep me in your prayers. You all are such an inspiration. 2007 is going to be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Miranda. this is Lorrie. I started my liquids today and took one dose of milk of magnesia. I go the day before you. My husbands grandmother died last night so he will be back and forth. Her funeral is the same day as surgery. I'm excited. I've had a few moments when I think "what are you doing" "are you crazy". I hope this is the right thing for me. See you at the hospital!!!!

Hey Miranda,
My surgery is in two days too! I'm scheduled to be there at 7:30 AM. Dr. Neighbert is doing mine. Is he doing yours? Maybe we will see each other in the hospital. I'll try to walk to your room to see you if we are near each other! I'll say a prayer for you and the medical team to see you safely through your surgery and recovery.
I hope to see you!
