Thanks for the encouragement.  I know I'll be fine and it'll all be worth it - it's just the anticipation!  C

Oh, my gosh!   Totally understand where you are coming from!   I had many sleepless nights prior to my surgery on 8/27.  I did alot of pre-shopping for what I thought I would need immediately after surgery.  I, also, cleaned out my closets to find clothes that were going to fit the "new" me!  It was fun.  If you're anything like me I'm good for clothes for about 4 sizes smaller!! (24, 22, 20 and 18's).  And, so far I'm down 2 sizes!  WAHOOOIE!!!   I also made my husband remind me how good thin was going to feel (right after my surgery, when I was hurting).  I'm only  a month out and I love seeing people who haven't seen me since my surgery and their reactions.  The surgery.....it was nothing compared to what's happened since the wt. started falling off!  Best of luck to you!  You're going to be FABULOUS dahling!  Kschick 

I have no advice for you because I have not been there yet.  I hope to though.  I wish you the best of luck.  With any new experience, I am always a bit anxious.  I don't know what to expect even though it has been gone over many times.  I'm sure that is similar to your feelings.  I would look at it as your first major step to one of the most positive life changes you can make.  I'm envious of you.  :)  You'll be in my thoughts.

I keep reading about people not getting the right kind of nutrition after surgery.  I have used Juice Plus for over a year and really think it has made me more healthy.  I have been doing research on how it works for wt. loss surgery.  They say is great.  I think when you consider the cost of fruits and veggies it isn't expensive, and it is scientifically based  that it is absorbed in your body, unlike other vitamins, etc.  It is also made of the best fruits and veggies.  I have signed up as a distributor just to get the cost down a little .  I am not trying to advertise here but I do have a web site where you can purchase if you are interested.  Below is a section on this wt loss about people that are now using it.  I found it to be very interesting.    The protein drinks aren't bad at all.  PM me if you are interested further. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/nutrition/a,proddetail/prod_id,1399/

Hi LaNeta! Just wondering if you went to the support group?  If so, tell us all about it!  Thanks!  Kschick
