I just found out I was approved for surgery late Friday afternoon in the midst of running errands, projects and family stuff.

Never had that OMG can't believe it. I have told a few friends, family. No one today to share where I am with this, so I came here.

Not sure why I feel alone in this journey tonight.

I did battle a cold this weekend. But just feeling blah.

Trying to figure out how to rebuild my energy for my preop diet, planning for my new life.

Once I confirm time off for this at work I will feel better.

Glad I have u guys, and I am not alone. My wife is very supportive, but does not get all of this.... All the time.

I found out the same day Chad I'm shooting for a Sept 10 date. My hubby don't really doesn't understand either and I think he knows I'm going to do it regardless. This site has been sooooo helpful for me. Not so much for advice on what to eat- when etc as I will follow doctors orders to the T. But it's about the journey itself. Congratulations on your approval- be proud and excited! You've reached the next step

Excellent Justine! I am so happy for you!

I think I am feeling bad that I am feeling bad. Geez!

Okay... Positive thoughts

Hee Hee- seriously! You're APPROVED. Now schedule your day for sept 10 (my way of keeping my anxiety down as I'll be a basket case the moment I walk in). So if to be unselfish- you and the rest of the September peeps should rearrange schedules to me MY needs .

Hahah- JK

Yep positive thoughts. Nothing but optimistic and positive thinking.

You rock!

Oooh that's a month away. Do u know what your doc requires for pre op?

Two weeks, no carb meals, a shake once a day. Heathly meals before that.... Six weeks. He did not give me a number to loose. I think I gained a few this past month. Time to be all in, now. I have a month instead of eight weeks. Little nervous about that.

Wow that seems like a lot! I see the doc next Tuesday but I'm hearing he doesn't require much of a pre op. Weird how docs are different. I wish she would- without her telling me I "have" to- I'm not likely to stick to anything.

Hence- the need for this tool. Best of luck in the next few weeks

My focus has been more on completing insurance requirements. But did not need a six month plan for it.

Good Luck Chad..I'll dust you off a spot on the losers bench!
