I love you list and with all the little faces!!!  I know what you’re going through, I've been there and done that!!  But, rest a sure 2/3/6 months a year you’re going to look back and laugh about it.  Just keep a positive attitude and keep focused.  OH, and keep a journal.  God will get you through this just like anything else.  One other thing....don't ever think your never going to be able to eat corn the cob again...you will, just not a lot of it.  I eat just about everything...I try to stay away from carbs as much as possible and NO SWEETES or SURGAR!!!  I bought a couple cook books for gastric bypass patient and it is amazing how easy it can be when you redirect your feelings for food to something else.

Oh, Lane Bryant....I have to say that was a sad day when I no longer could fit in anything there, but it is a great feeling to fit in a petite small.

So don't get yourself all worked up and know this is the best thing you could do for your health.

Remember PM me anytime!!!

Hugs, Michele

Congratulations!  So happy for you!

Didn't know this forum was here! I am scheduled for LB 1-23-09.  How is everyone doing getting ready .. am I the only one emotionally all over the place right now?  I am usually very focused, collected and level headed, I am the one who helps everyone else chill ... right now I am just not in my lane to be quite honest
 ... kinda loopy that this is actually happening
 ... over anything
 ... easily
 ... most of the time
... low tolerance negative WLS statements
... about maybe never having corn on the cob again
... happy to see life with my healthier size
 ... not sure how not to shop at Lane Bryant
 ... will my skin flap when I lose 50 or 60 lbs?

this list could go on and on ...

   thanks for reading those who did will appreciate any comments & suggestions ...

 Good Morning,

So, tomorrow is my big day!!!! YAY!!! I am really excited. But, I just wanted feedback to know if people felt the same way, and that I AM normal, LOL.

I am really emotional!! Has this happened to anyone else? And, I don't really know what I am upset about. Its so weird... But, I think if one more family member calls me and asks, "Are you ready, Are you nervous yet"? I think I might scream! And, although I know they are just calling because they care, I end up crying about it. Weird or normal? Also, if I talk to one more person and they say, "I didn't know you would even qualify for THAT surgery" I think I might scream again! And, what does that even mean?!? Come on, Like they didn't know I had extra... ALOT extra weight on my bones! ! ! 

Sorry now I am just complaining.

I am so excited for this surgery and prepared. And, I have been strong throughout this whole process... not really letting too many people in around me, except my husband. But, I feel like I am shutting down. I don't want to talk to anyone, I jst want this to be over. I want to go, get this over with and get home. I am really excited to start my NEW life!!! 

Anyway, Thanks for listening... I hope you all have a GREAT day!!

I'm a 20th too! Fantastic to be done on such an historic day!
