I finally got my surgery date!

congrats!!!

Congrats on the date Bev!  It really will be here before you know it.  Like everyone else said, prepare yourself as much as possible.  Sipping, chewing, taking tiny bites, etc.  I'm so happy for you!

Congrats!  I am so excited for you.

congats bev--

Thank you all for the support!  I really appreciate how incredible all of you are and the wonderful advice you offer.  I have lost 43 pounds so far, only 220 pounds to go.   I don't intend to do the last supper thing, since I don't want to gain back any of the weight I have lost.  I even added an extra exercise class to my regimen this week.  Also, I have asked my sister to take some before pictures for me soon.  I have several samples of protien drinks to try and I have started ordering scales and a blender.   I have been collecting wls recipes and trying several of them, even though I know that my tastes may change after surgery or some things may not agree with me.  I am not worried about the liquid diet phase.  I have done liquid diets and cleanses before.  The only thing that is going to get to me is the waiting.  I have general anxiety disorder, so having too much time to think about things can sometimes work against me.  I am going to try to keep myself busy.

Thank you all again!!!!
