I got a date - yeah!

It looks like September 13 will be my new birthday and the beginning of the 'loser' me I'm thrilled and ready to go. Funny thing is, as I've been telling people I start with "I've got a date!" and they all go "who asked you out?" I guess our little lingo doesn't always translate the same. Thank you everyone for all your amazing support - you know they say that the best way to succeed is to be sure and get a support network behind you, and you all are a BIG part of that. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi PJ, Congratulations on your surgery date!!!! I am happy for you. (((hugs))) Diana

Hey PJ, That is so great!!! September will be here before you know it. So happy early rebirth to you!! Hugs Marge

Woohoo! Now that's good news! (ow! Might be a bit early to be doing this! ) Kix

That is great news. I will have my surgery on aug 24. I remember how I jumped for joy when I got my date. Best wishes for a smooth road ahead. I am on the 2 week liquid preop routine that my surgeon requires. It is difficult but I am taking it day by day. So far so good. take care Netta

Hooray PJ...I'm doing the happy dance for you! Best wishes for an uneventful surgery! *hugsnluv* Phyl

PJ, Do you have to do a pre-op diet? congratulations on the date. Lori

No pre-op diet, although I do have a liquid diet 24 hours before surgery. The nutritionist did say to stop drinking carbonated drinks, so I am going off those next week (the only things I ever drink are water and dr. pepper, and dr. pepper is going to be HARD to give up!) Other than that, I'm pretty free to eat anything. Although I have found out that I'm already in the mode of watching what I eat - last night I went to get groceries and my immediate reaction was to go for the healthy. It just confirms for me how most of this is mental. Wow, i just can't believe it is so close!

PJ, that is so great!!! I am so happy you have a date! Now comes the fun par****ching your progress!!! Congratulations! jacie
