  1. I had the same emotions after my pre op appointment as well. Right now I'm very excited but I know the closer I get to May 20th the nervousness will be at an all-time high! I'm just ready to go to sleep and wake up (with everything turning out great).
  2. Yeah this diet has stressed me out as well. I started my diet on Monday and I've been trying really hard to stay on the straight and narrow. Although I'm not on an all liquid diet I can't have starches, nuts, or peanut butter. And on Monday I ate mashed potatoes. Tuesday I was perfect and yesterday I ate half of a lean pocket, more than 3oz of fish (can only have 3oz), and I had a bite of pbj around 2 this morning.
  3. That's really great! I know that must be even more of a motivation as well as assurance that you made the right decision. Sounds like you are gonna do great.
  4. I hope you will be able to sleep as well. This is a very nervous and exciting time so enjoy the moment. I wish you all the best and you will be in my prayers.
  5. Yes it is very exciting! I'm doing ok at times I'm extremely hungry and I've been craving a pbj since yesterday however I have not gave in. I'm having it done at Wesley Long hospital in Greensboro.
  6. Wow sounds like you should at least have a date by June! My surgery is the 20th of this month ( so 12 days)!!!
  7. I'm doing ok. I'm on day 3 of my preop diet and its been a struggle at certain times. What about you, have you received a date yet?
  8. I'm glad everything went well at your appointment ColoradoChick!
  9. I totally feel you guys! My surgery is the 20th and I am on day 3 of my lean diet ( forever greatful it's not all liquid). The first day I cheated and told myself just that one time. Yesterday I wanted a pbj soooooo bad and my mind wanted to say just one more time. However we all know one is never enough so I prayed and asked God to get me through the night and shared how I was feeling with you guys on here and I made it through the night.
  10. I've been craving a pbj all evening!
  11. You are right I think sleeping might be the key. Thank you.
  12. I am really struggling right now on this diet and its only day 2!
  13. Day 2 of my preop diet, I'm really hungry right now and my family is eating.
  14. Good luck today ladies! You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
  15. Kurstin congrats on a successful surgery. I'm jealous of you right now:-). I hope your recovery continues to get better!
  16. I hope everyone is doing well who's had their surgery so far!
  17. :-D I do! But there's a lot of good ideas on here and surly one if not all will start something. I'm just hoping after my surgery mybsex drive will increase.
  18. You should! Everyone is friendly and you always feel welcomed but most important they feel comfortable.
  19. Yes Amazon does have a lot of neat toys and after working in the store for so long I can certainly understand why some people would rather prefer shopping online. Although I can speak for our stores( Priscilla McCall's) I know there are stores out there that are not too savvy when dealing with such a personal subject. However I will say that a lot of times looks can be deceiving when it comes to purchasing toys. So I always recommend going into a store, that way you will like what you buy. Especially since you can't return them.
  20. O ok our biggest store is there!
  21. I live in Greensboro NC. Where do you live that you know about us?
  22. I work at Priscilla McCall's and we do have a lot of neat things! What I enjoy the most is seeing so many couples come in. You should definitely come by.
