Ladies. We are getting down to the wire.. Surgery is very soon.. what's going through your minds right now? As for me Im trying not to think about it, I don't want to be scared or nervous. I think the excitement factor is high BUT I don't want to get too excited. I just want to get it done and start my new life!

EVERYTHING is going through my mind! every emotion possibe LOL Today is day 3 of the liquid diet...I keep dreaming about food LOL It is diffficult to not have anything to CHEW. I'm being bad & chewing gum but being very careful not to swallow it. I'm gonna hop on the scale in a bit, hopefully it has moved a little!! :thumbup:

Had my pre-op testing today. Very nice nurse explained day of surgery routine and toured the surgical center facilities. Had blood drawn, urine specimen, & EKG.

Also was given lots more paperwork to read in preparation for this drastic change.

My focus now is more on the preparations and changes, than on the reward.

Will see therapist tomorrow.

This is day 4 of pre-op diet and it is getting easier.

Day was hardest for me from late afternoon to bed time. Getting easier every day.

I'm on the 23rd, also!!!

I am SO FREAKIN' excited!!! I am totally ready to start my pre-op (have already done a trial run) and am just ready for my suregery day. 2/23 will be the first day of the rest of our lives and although we will have a lot of work ahead of us, the Lap Band is going to be such a wonderful tool to assist us on on way. We may have our ups and downs, but we will be successful as long as we follow the rules and remain positive!

Yea for us February 23rd-ers!! :scared2:

Hey, Ladies

My surgery is on the 22th of this month. I'm excited also I was afraid to tell my mom I finally did and she was very supportive. I'm feeling so good right now. Now you know what will make my day if someone could tell me how to put the ticker and art work on my page. Lol!

We're going to do this ladies and I pray for each and everyone of us.

Be Blessed!
