Hello! Well, my surgery date is set for August 1st. While I am SUPER EXCITED I am also SUPER NERVOUS. I think because I have a little more than 2 weeks to go, it's all becoming so real. I see the home stretch!!! I had my final meeting with my nutritionist today and she said I only need to do the liquid diet for 4 days. Really she said I didn't even need to do it as I am on the lower bmi scale but she wants me to get used to the way things are going to be post op. I have been purchasing products for a while now, I ordered a pill crusher, a shake weight (SHOOOSH, DON'T JUDGE ME! LOL) and yes, it DOES in fact work. My last purchase was the Kitchen Ninja 1100. I CAN'T wait to try that thing out!! So, who else out here is going to be joining me on "The Losers Bench" in August?? To those of you waiting for surgery, what are your thoughts and concerns????? I would really like to know if I am the only one freaking out a lil.

August 12th for me! Good luck to all of you!

I'm August 12th too!!!!! I'm extremely nervous but excited!!

HI!!! My surgury is August 2nd!!!!

I am the same as you, excited but nervous. I think I am more nervous rather than the recovery then the actual surgery because I leave for my freshman year of college on Aug. 20th!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Where are you going to college? What is your major? My ywin granddaughters are also starting to college this fall. One is going to Eastern Oregon to major in theater. The other is starting at a community college because she doesn't know what she wants to do yet and figured she would get the first two years out of the way for less $$$ and with some good friend.

Good luck to you, too!
