Surgery Date!!!! OH YEAH!

Hello Everyone! My surgery is scheduled for August 22! I am so excited... Any thoughts or suggestions before I begin my WLS journey? I'm listening~~~~~

Lorrie, That is wonderful news! That happened much quicker than I expected! I am so happy for you. I hope to see you at our meeting on Monday night, we will have our nutritionist from keesler there and she can answer any questions you may have about nutrition and eating pre and post operative. Congrats!! Rhonda

Thanks for the advice! I have been the birthday cake queen this week and my birthday is not until September!!!! I am trying to get motivated to walk but so far - No Luck! Thanks for sharing!

I am so excited for you, give me a call when you get time and let me know all the details.

Good for you!!! I have no suggestions cause I am waiting on surgery too! Cindi

Congrats Lorrie! August 22nd will be here before you know it.... Best Wishes, Marci

Really happening fast for some of you guys and gals....Congrats, and keep us posted. DeAnna.

Congratualtions on YOUR day!!! I am so excited for you! Just remember you will go thru all kinds of emotions betwixt now and then and then for a while after, but it's all normal! Hang in there!!! smoochies Arlies

Thanks for the tips! Questions: Is there really any way to prepare for the emotional roller coaster? If so Pleeeeeeeeese share it with me. I am not afraid of having the actual surgery at all, however, I am afraid of not being able to eat a piece of Birthday Cake ever again! Is it normal for me to have my mind made up that I AM having surgery but I still can't imagine what it will feel like not to be able to eat the things that I Love. I guess it's just hard to imagine what it's like until it becomes a reality..... Am I making any sense????? Am I normal or just plain nuts!!!!!

Hey Lorrie , the reality is you will be able to eat a piece of birthday cake again the problem is you wont be able to hold the whole piece lol .It's like Dr. Salameh told me you will still be able to eat the foods you love if you choose to, you just wont be able to eat the whole thing lol .I am not like some, I have never had any instances where I have dumped and that may or may not be a good thing although I make everything sugar free except for birthday cake lol but ,I just had a birthday July the 9th and well I had a few bites of birthday cake (she says with ashamed face lol )and they were yummy lol .......Hugggs and Love....Sherry
