I have a surgery date! April 8, 2009! I am so excited. Today I had called the office to find out if they had set a date yet. I was told no and when they heard something I would hear something. So, feeling disappointed, I left for work. On my way to work I prayed to God and said if it is not for me to have this surgery, and I don't hear anything this week then I will not have it. Well I got to work was checking my mail before I went in and there was a message telling me my surgery appointment was on 4/8! I am so excited! So come on people give me all the advise you can give me! Tell me what I will be looking forward too. I know the one thing I can't wait for is to set my skinny self free. She has been locked inside this old body for a long time now. Pray for me that everything goes okay and I conquer obesity.

God Bless you all!

If you drink any pop.. quit drinking them now even diet soda, stop eating sugar and use a sugar substitute, start drinking a protein drink a day maybe at lunch to raise your protein to get you ready for surgery. A good amount of protein helps your healing process after surgery.  Learn to drink slowly since after surgery you will not be able to gulp for a while. Do portion control, eat protein first, veggies then fruit.  Start cutting down your fat intake and carb intake.

Drink lots of water and sugar free drinks for example crystal light I prefer the walmart brand great value they are great 0 calories 0 sugars.  Remember to eat slowly and chew all your food really good before swallowing. Take your time eatine for example take about 20 to 30 minutes to finish your food. Practice drinking fluids up to 30 minutes before eating and then resume drinking 30 minutes after your meals. If you start doing all that now you will know what is to be expected after surgery.

If you have any questions please ask away. That is what we are here for.

Best of luck sweetie. You are definitely on your way to becoming a loser.
