I have my Date!

I received a call yesterday and I am scheduled to have my surgery on August 18th. I am still having a hard time believing that it is really going to happen, so i am a little numb yet. I see the dietician on monday and will probably be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before my surgery. I have to take in the protein supplement that I plan to use. If anyone has any suggestions which one to use, i could use the advice. I heard someone had used Dr. Phils shape-up. Anyone try that?

CONGRATULATIONS Judy!!! Best wishes for a successful surgery and rapid recovery. You will do great!! Marsha

I am smaller than I was in high school, and life is just so good now.
