I have a DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I can't wait! My surgery will be on December 6, 2006. I start liquids the day before Thanksgiving. So worth it. It's going to be tough, but I know I can do it! This is going to be the longest three weeks. Any ideas/thoughts? How did you all make it to your date without going crazy?

Congradulations on getting your date. You could always move your Thanksgiving meal up a couple of days. One more thing to be thankful for. You're in my prayers...Patsy

Thanks Patsy I've been panicking for the last week or so, like it's the last supper every day! I'm going to start liquid on Monday (tomorrow) instead. That way I'll have a few days behind me and I'll feel stronger on Thanksgiving. I'm so disappointed in myself with how I have eaten for the past week or so. I mean I know that's why I need the surgery, I have a problem. But I need therapy and a few more support groups I think. I really want to correct the problem! I've been so mean and snippy lately

Congrats. Dr. V Did my RNY nearly 4 weeks ago (10/24) and I am feeling pretty good. Between the liquid pre op and post op I have lost 43lbs. The first week was though as I was just really tired and a little unconfortable - nothing Tylenol couldn't take care of, but after that 1 week mark I have felt very good. Speaking of Tylenol, they now have a chewable tablet called Go tabs - these work fast. Good Luck and let us know how you are doing. Chris

Thanks so much Chris! Wow, 43lbs so far!!!!! Yesterday was my first liquid day and I did it! It was soooo hard, but I managed I'm glad to see that you feel so well afterwards. Congrats on your success so far I can't wait!!!!
