I told someone last week that I was in panic mode.  I still have 1 more nutrition class (Sept. 12th) before my surgery will be scheduled and all I can think of is what I will be missing right before and after surgery.  All the things that I can't have are on my mind.  My friend said that was the bucket list, and lots of people experience the same thing.  I haven't bought out the grocery store yet, but I have slipped in an ice cream and choc cake or two.  I hope everyone out there is doing well tonight.  The heat and drought here is causing super problems. School starts in a week and we are all set for that.  I am planning on attending a support group meeting tomorrow night.  A psychiatrist will be there to answer questions and I certainly could use a shrink at this point.  Good nite all and God bless.

I have never blogged in my life and have no idea what I am doing, but here goes.  My name is Vickie and I am currently going through the nutrition classes prior to gastric bypass surgery.  I expect my surgery will be around November.  I have been overweight since I was 8 years old and weighed about 180 when I graduated high school.  After marrying and having children I went back to school, became an LVN and then got a BS in business management.  I have been considering this surgery for years but there was always a reason to put it off.  I have arthritis which restricts mobility but am hoping that losing weight will help that.  I need information and some good friends to help me get through this.
