Hi Sista! I will be right there with you on Mar. 24! I am sooooo ready for this. I only have to do liquids for 3 days before the surgery though. Good luck to you!

Hey Yall...

I am a March 24ther as well.....And on the 10th of March, I will start my pre op diet. I am actually starting to prepare for this now.....drinking lots of water, reducing calories, and trying so hard to walk a few steps more than I did yesterday....

18 more days!! :smile2: :w00t:

18 more days!! :smile2: :w00t:

I just told my husband, "three weeks from now, it will be over! I will be on the otherside and getting healthier & thinner, every day!!! How great is that?"

Ok you guys....18 days and counting. Looking forward to pre op diet because it will be official then!!! I seem y doc on Monday to go over the pre op test results and I've been stressing about them a bit. I have really been taking care of my "head hunger" and dealing with it...i've been of soda, sugar, bread, walking more and drinking plenty of water and I'm already down my required 12 lbs...BEFORE PRE OP DIET!!!!!

Funny how much better I already feel. I used to take a nap everyday because I was always so tired but now, I have more energy and don't nap. I wonder if it has anything to do with much fewer carbs???

Monday, I also see my new therapist for the first time. She has worked with bariatric patients before and I want everyone on TEAM MEG I can get....I went to a support group thursday night, talked to many people and got phone numbers...So, are the rest of you all excited??? What's going on with you guys??

Take Care,

Meg:biggrin:

Hi Megg, where are you in FL? I am in Ormond Beach, near Daytona on the east coast. I don't have to do the liquid diet except for 3 days prior to surgery and even than, its full liquid. I am so excited! I'm going to MX for my surgery so my anxiety is the plane trip back home. That is the only part that I would change if I could.
