Next week!

Ok, So I've been counting down for the last 2-3 wks anxiously awaiting July 6. So I knew last Thursday was 2 wks & this Thursday would be 1 wk but it just dawned on me last night that my surgery is NEXT week!!! LOL! That makes it sound so much closer...to me anyway. So I've lost my mind...oh well!!! I'm so excited!!!! Told my mom I wanted some Smoked Turkey & dressing before I start low fat diet (friday). I also want to go to my Aunt & Uncles seafood stand in Seminary & get some fried catfish & shrimp . & gotta go to SnoBiz for a snow cone . I'm so bad. Food funerals...next 5-7 days

Naaah that ain't so bad - most of us did it - those last meals (like we will never eat again or something LOL)....That last week is a little strange though..Good luck to you and we will be checking on you during the next week and praying through surgery!!! DeAnna.

Hey - Just looked at your profile - are you still having TT in Oct ? If so, what doc are you using? Insurance paying any? I can't wait to get that ball rolling! Thanks, DeAnna. (I'm going to actually stop and do a profile with pics later in the week or weekend).

It's very funny how right before surgery EVERYONE gets EXTREMELY friendly with all their favorite foods! Enjoy yourself, but when the diet day starts - stick to it. It will help you out so much! Now the fun is going to begin! smoochies Arlies

Melissa, Congratulations! You are almost there. If you need anything, let me know. I live in Laurel, too. Home 601-426-6836 Sonya

Sorry we did not get to see each other on Saturday, I will try to set a day aside soon to come up there and hang out for an afternoon or something so all the locals can meet me and chat for a while. Miss ya! Rhonda

Thanks Ya'll. I appreciate everything! My mom keeps telling me she hopes I know what I'm doing & she's affraid of my mental health postop. I know depression sometimes follows WLS & I hope the weightloss will keep me from being too blue. I know it's going to be difficult....especially mentally. Thanks again!

Melissa, I have always felt this but this month I heard a study that proved my theory. Vitamin b-12 does help fight anxiety and stress related depression. They also said that the Omega-3 multi vitamins help with depression. Most of us did get a depressed around the end of month two or so. The great thing is you can come on here and everyone will help guide you through it. It last for only a brief time. However, you new life can last for years and years to come! Good Luck, Sonya Sumrall

hey girl dont stress be excited!!! i know its scary i was too but u will be ok and u have me to call when u think u just cant take another drink of that protein shake and watch ur husband and kids eat dominos. i HAVE been there!!! it sucks but it will all be ok and 6 weeks will go by faster than u can imagine and all the early angst will be worth it. i cried i was depressed i mourned my food(my best friend for the past 10 yrs) i think we all did and its not easy but just like anyother type of grief u get past it and u move on to brighter things. u know u can call me anytime!!! i want to be there for ur surgery! crystal

Hi Crystal! Thanks! I'm so excited! I'm sure it'll be worth it, I just dread the first few weeks. You are definately welcome to be there. Remember its a week from today July 6. WOW! Seems like yesterday we met at the seminar. Thanks girlie! ((((HUGS))))
