That does seem pretty long. But sure it's necessary.
Good Luck with your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery.......

Hi All,
Had my pre-admitting appointment yesterday at the civic..................3 long hours! I know it was totally necessary but just so much waiting. ECG, more blood work, blood pressure, height and weight and a meeting with nurse and anesthetist. Also registered with admitting- found out the rooms are co-ed...should be interesting! 6 more sleeps!
Thanks northernblueyes! It may seem like it will be forever before you date comes but the time does go by quickly.
Thanks roxanne2801! I just started the Optifast today and it isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. I'm sure in 2 weeks I'll be sick of it but for now it's not bad. I'm finding the worst thing to be the hunger that I'm feeling but I'm just trying to keep myself busy so I don't notice it (or go looking for food). My husband is picking me up some Almond extract so I'm going to try that with it to see if I can change it up a bit.
Congratulations on your date.
Best of luck for surgery as well.
One can only hope my date comes soon.

I finally got the phone call this morning and my surgery is booked for March 4th! I'm so excited :D
Day 6 of the shakes and it is going fine. I have been on them twice before for 3 months at a time so I am very used it. I am full but NOT satisfied which is hard but I have my eye on the goal! 16 more sleeps!!!!
