Mine is also the 29th! But unfortunately it's the 29th of July. But I've waited this long, my day too will come. ????

Congratulations! You are going to do wonderfully and will have all the great people here to help you along the way. Let us know how you're doing. You are just hours away from a terrific new life!

Hey Peg, thanks! Funny enough I wish I had 2 weeks to go lol. My doctor didn't have me on a liquid diet, I got to have Protein Shakes and fruits and meats, just weighed out. I don't think I could survive on 2 weeks of liquids, good luck ! I'll see you on the flip side, so we can exchange recipes at some point soon !

Mea culpa yours is the 30th. My mistake. Sometimes my excitement gets ahead of me. Aside from the date everything else I said stands!

Congrats!! Mine is Wednesday. Super nervous and excited. Been on semi liquids since last Sunday by choice. Doc said 1 week, after eating everything I could think of I started 3 days earlier.

I actually have cried a lot today. Both good tears and fear tears. But mostly good tears. I'm glad I finally stuck up for myself and determined I am worthy of feeling better about myself.

You were always worthy Kell, it's just a matter of realizing it, and I'm glad you did ! I know that this is the best thing for us both, the way I'm looking at it is that this is just the scary part before our new lives begin. I just finished crying, not sure what your hospital is like but my nurse at doctors office said she'll have the nurses at the hospital give me something for the anxiety before the surgery... What time is your surgery ? Mine is going to be around 11:30, sadly I'm the 3rd person tomorrow ????

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
