Wish me luck!

After all the testing, worrying and nailbiting, my sugery is set for July 12 -the day after tomorrow. I can't believe it's just around the corner! I have mixed emotions - mostly I just want to get past the surgery and onto recovery. I'm well prepared - my surgeon's office is great. I'm a little sick of jello and broth already, but I guess I'll get over that. I'm not nervous - just a little anxious. I'm wondering a lot about how I'll feel and how I'll handle the changes in my diet. I just keep thinking about buying new clothes! Everyone has been great. Keep a good thought... Suzanne

Suzanne, Good luck! My prayers will be with you. Yes, dream about smaller clothes and you should get through fine! Please keep us updated! hugs~~ Donna

Suzanne, Hello hun...~Hugs~ Wow that is soon, well I wish you the best. May you have a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. I was more excited the few days before surgery too, I was so looking forward to get on with this new life. At first I was unsure I did the right thing and as I got better I started to see that this is really a great thing. I am adding new foods back into my diet now and I am not feeling all that bad but at first it is very hard to deal with the head hunger that I was going through, seeing that everyone around you still eats as they always did. Well hang in there hun and when you start to lose the weight and add "real" food back into your diet it gets so much better.. Take care Debra P

I bet you are at the hospital and waiting for it to be over. good luck you are in good hands. I am 19 months out and doing great. down 113 and holding for about 6 months. I met my goal in 10 months. you will feel so much better. good luck and happiness on your new life
