holy S***

I just realized that my surgery is NEXT THURSDAY.  kind of freaked me out that i can say that next week i'll be sleeved. 

Mine is next Monday...I am right there with you on the freaked out part!  I'm not questioning my decision, its just that after so many months of thinking about it, going through tests, and planning for it - for the date to be nearly here almost doesn't seem real.  And on top of that, it is hard to comprehend how different things are going to be starting next week.  It is all very surreal.

Best wishes to you as well Sunny! We'll all slide over to make room on the losers bench for both of you!

Thank you! I can't wait!

it is totally surreal!!!  and totally normal to feel that way!  i spent the last week crying on and off, wondering why i couldn't just get the weight off with WW, Jenny, whatever, and being freaked out in general.  and i'm here to tell you that you will go thru the pits the first couple of weeks probably, but once you're on pureed food things will get drastically better and you soon will feel completely normal, just with a banana tummy!!

good luck to both of you!  in my thoughts!

The very best of luck to you! Your life will change dramatically for the better!

Oh crap - seeing your message made me realize (YIKES!!!!!) that I'm scheduled for next week, too. I feel shaky. Excited tho, but shaky. SO much in the last year (and here I vent, so be patient). I buried my dear mother in Nov, my bestest friend died of a brain tumor in Dec, her husband (my husband's dearest friend) called to say he was seeing a woman in Jan, then in Feb he called to say he was going to marry her (WOW - how do I wrap my brain around this???). Then we sold our house in MI, sold our cottage in WI and put Mom's house up for sale. We had to clean then all up and put stuff in storage. Then this month we moved back to Tucson and are looking to buy a home down here. Plus our 40-year old son's is bi-polar and we are constantly dealing with that. NO WONDER I GOT FAT!!!!!! Seeing a psychologist is the best gift I have ever given myself. So......next week I get to be knocked out and get to sleep a good, deep sleep for a coupla hours then I get to focus on only myself for the next few weeks which'll be a relief. So, wow, I certainly turned your excitement into myself, didn"t I? Sorry. Have a wonderful week and take good care of yourself. And let yourself be waited on - after all you are worth it!!! (so'm I) (so are we all)

LADIES CONGRATS TO US ALL.I WILL ALSO BE JOINING YOU ON BENCH I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE FILLING,I AM NOT FEELING ANYTHING  9/28/11

Awesomely! :)

Just order your foods now. The key to liquids is Flavor and Choices...don't make all your protein be shakes...try protein soups, gelatins, greek yogurt, hot drinks. That way the two weeks of Liquids goes by really quick and you'll be on Pureed before you know it. www.dietdirect.com has great choices.

Best of Luck!
