*The day has come*

Thanks for the encourgement Alice,  Ineed all I can get!

Well, that answers my question about meeting for lunch!

Broccoli and protein drink???? There goes my gag reflex!!!

Don't forget the SF popsicles. That helps some with the need to chew. I especially like the fudgesicles. Oh and the Harris Teeter has some awesome creamsicle bars called 'Absolutely Free" NF NS but wow...they rock!! They are on the top self in the corner above the other low calorie stuff. Now don't go tell everybody because they don't keep a big stock and we don't need a stampeed of people buying them all up!

DId you get Unjury from Jodi? What about those SmartForme drink packets? I really liked them post-op.....more than any other stuff I had on hand. The 'kool-aid' texture worked much better for me than the 'milkshake' like most of the powders make.

I'm so excited for you! I wish I could see you tomorrow night at Mercy :(

Hang in there, baby.....Skinny Reenie is on the way!!!

Hey Karen, Thanks for the tips on the SF popsicles and Absolutley Free creamsicles. Yum!! I won't tell no one. I did buy Unjury and Smart Form from Jodi. I don't recall if she had packets to try. Thanks for your support and encourgemnet. I feel I will do just fine, (hope I don't eat my words.) There are enough friends here to keep you motivated.

Reenie, I wish you the best of luck.  Honestly I cheated twice on my liquid.  It was a small cheat but still.........it was a cheat.  I can not wait to see you on the losers side. Dana

Thanks Dana, I am on the secound day so far so good,I have not cheated yet. Save a seat for me.

Hey Maureen, How is Day #2????? I have been thinking of you.  It was really great to meet you the other day.  I can't wait to watch you in this journey.  You will do GREAT! Keep us updated........  Not long now ! Elizabeth

Hey Elizabeth, Day 2 has gone pretty well. When to the pre-op at Mercy this morning. I met with Susan Burke. She was really nice. Had anEKG done and blood work also. Everything is a GO! Getting a litte nervous since all test are done and it's final. I had a great time with you also. We will have to get together again soon.  Maybe sometime before I go back to work. Reenie

Hi Reenie,  you'll do just fine on your liquid diet. The first few days are tough, but it gets easier. Hang in there. Take it one day at a time. Besides you'll be a "LOSER" soon. The 10th is right around the corner..... Good Luck                                          Tiffany
