Hey,

I'm excited. I finally got my surgery date set for December 12th. It's taken months of work to get here, but is sure is nice to finally have a firm date. The process honestly took twice as long as I thought it would. I go in for my pre-surgery consultation later this week.

I'm a little nervous about being on a liquid diet over the christmas holiday. I told my parents (jokingly) that they'll just have to ignore my muffled sobs at our Christmas dinner. :-)

On another positive note. I finally started dragging my butt back to the gym. I made it 4 times last week (including once on the weekend!)

Guess that's it for now. I still haven't figured out how to add all my surgery information to my profile. Let me see if I can get that done now.

hey Sam!  congratualtions on getting your date and WOW it's coming up FAST!  If you have any pre-op questions on preparation, please don't hesitate to ask.  It's really great that you're going to the gym as well.  Get these habits in place beforehand and you'll get through it all with flying colors!

Congratulations Sam... And don't be scared about being on a liquid for the BEGINNING of the holiday season, because you will have your brand new tool at the HEIGTH of it's productivity for the actual holiday.

You won't believe what a great help it will be.
I have found a new way of life that has kept me at Goal since 2008.. And keeping it that way!

Sam,
Congrats!  Take the liquid diet one day at a time. Just remember the days past faster than you think. We'll see how creative you can be at Chirstmas with liquids! And... especially good news about the gym. To me it is an important component of my recovery. I am now used to my 5 times a week exercise session. Keep us posted bud.
