Lurker coming out- Surgery on 1 April

Hey everyone.. I've been lurking on lapbandtalk for quite a while and joined last year.. I thought I'd finally come out and just say Hi. I've been through several months of getting ready for this (since August 2010) and have gotten approval and a surgery date. I've gotten invaluable information from this site, and hope to be more active on here now. I have a very busy life with 2 teens, a pre-teen and a disabled husband.

Have a great day everyone! :D

Nicole

    Hi there! Congratulations on the upcoming surgery. I am also a longtime lurker and I finally got my surgery date set for April 5th. So exciting. Good luck with your journey.

    Hey! I bet you're nervous and excited huh? I know I am... this diet is kicking my butt! I ended up "cheating" somewhat yesterday, although my doctor said that the first week of the diet I can supplement with a high protein/low carb/fat meal here and there. I still felt guilty and it didn't taste good.

    Hello and Welcome. I too am a long time lurker and only recently introduced myself. My surgery is set for April 6th. At first I was very excited, but now with just under 2 weeks to go...I am very very very nervous.

    I'm definitely nervous and excited. I'm sure as it gets closer I'll be more nervous. Good luck with the diet...you're almost there!
