Hi everyone! My surgery date is may 31 and it's all I can think about!! I wish it would hurry!! I know it will be worth the wait though.

Ive started purchasing my clear liquids and my protein shakes and all I'd the things I will need to make this life style change possible!

I am so blessed to have such an amazing family and church family!

I'm hoping to get to know some of you on this forum!!

God bless

Congratulations on your surgery date, and good luck & God speed. I'm getting a little closer to my date in as much as I have my initial meeting with the surgeon on May 17. Good move on purchasing some of your post-op food now so you can give 'em a try .

Congrats. I know it feels like forever, but before you know it may 31 will be here. I would suggest practacing with the slow eating, the whole chewing 30 times takes some getting used to.

Thank you for the advice!

My doctor did not put me on any special diet. As a matter of fact he told me to eat everything I love before my surgery haha! I have been doing just that! I told my husband today that I was going to back off and start testing out some of the protein shakes I've bought.

I am trying very hard to not let the waiting consume me!

Best of luck to you mome2. This site is a good support system. Hugs to you.

Thanks so much Artsy! I love this sight already.

Hugs back to ya!

Your not obsessing your just getting so very exceited. A whole new life is ahead of you. There are many emotions that come into play with WL surgery. As it gets closer you may second guess yourself and start getting nervous. This is all normal. Just keep your eye on the prize. a healthy new you. I had surgery April of 2011 , I always wanted to parasail and well 2 weeks ago in florida I did. What a wonderful gift we are given with this surgery.

I love this kind of obsessing ! It is such a great journey to better health!

Obsess away! You're going to love the new you! It will be so great to be able to walk easier, to feel lighter, and to be able to do what you want to do instead of worrying about whether you'll "fit" somewhere.

Thank you all for the encouragement! It is so nice to be able to talk to people who know exactly what you are going through!

Just remember this is a tool to help you get to where you want to be. Don't overindulge on unhealthy foods before your surgery. Practice better eating habits and choices so it won't be such a big deal months later. I had surgery last week and I'm just as excited to see my transformation!! Good luck and your date will be here before you know it.

Mela that's the part I am obsessing about!! I want to do my best. I'm worried that I'm gonna screw up!

Oh I was the same way! I thought I was going to drive my husband crazy talking about it constantly before the surgery! I even brought my phone to check for updates on threads on the forums almost everywhere I went. I was wayyy too obsessed. It's sooo close! you don't have to wait much longer..Best wishes!
