Now what? (Another Newbie)

I just wanted to say welcome!  Your date is just around the corner!  You must be so excited!

HIJACK...... Missy I just love your new avatar....you look cutier then ever!! It is hard to make out the tattoo...is it a rose? I have a small butterfly with stardust on my oppisite shoulder...just love it! Hugs and love sweetie.....connie d

Thanks Connie!  Its a sunflower but it was pretty red so everyone thought it was a rose!  Its yellow now!  I love sunflowers!!!  This was my 3rd tattoo.  Im even planning my fourth one! LOL!  They are so addicting.

Hi Irma & welcome. Glad you posted a pic, too. That's rare for newbies, but it's nice to "see" who you're talking to. Congratulations on everything! That is awesome.

What to do now? Here's my thought on this...rest. Rest and up your protein so that your body is ready for the shock of surgery. Enjoy the "nesting" period and take care of any tasks that might bother you while you're home after surgery. Get it out of the way now. But overall, just rest easy and know that your life is going to be changing soon for the better and you're going to be so much healthier this time next year! Best to you!

Yep -- the waiting game.  Welcome to the boards --- I swear this waiting time is what gets you addicted to this board -- Glad you are here and keep posting!!! XXOO

Thank you so much for all the welcomes! And I've even started my lists.  At this point, I have a list for everything! I'm going to try to make it to Coffee.  Hopefully I won't forget... irma

Welcome I believe there is also a coffee in Maple Grove at the Byerlys at 9am. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

WELCOME.....WELCOME......WELCOME!!!!! So glad you decided to join us. Hope you love it as much as I do!! Hugs, connie d

I was going to mention the Maple Grove coffee, too - holler if you need directions!  Welcome, Congratulations, and YAY YOU!!! All of these suggestions are good, but my suggestion, or at least how I occupied the time between setting a date and actually HAVING surgery?  Hang here on OH & read through buttloads of profiles!  I'd go to the before & after shots, and read up on the profiles of all the crazy success stories there!  It helped me to be determined to be one of them!  And it validated this whole process for me.  Of course, once I found the MN boards, I all but forgot about the before & after shots - I have to remind myself to go there once in a while just so see how well people do with this surgery! Good luck and do NOT be a stranger!
