I am also new. My appointment to find out when is February 15th. I can't wait. I too am excited. I kissed salt good bye last week and that was easy. My blood pressure is really high right now. I feel that the surgery can't be too soon.
I decided to go on a drink diet today. I had a shake (Isogenics) and a banana, at lunch I had a shake and a orange. I was teaching an art class and got really dizzy. I had to eat something fast. I ate some crackers and drank a root beer. Felt better right away. How is its going to be after my surgery. I haven't had the date set for surgery yet. Should be the last of February 2008.
Thanks,
Sharon
