Hey everyone, I thought I'd pass along this blog I follow. It's called The World According to Eggface. It's filled with lots of great tips, recipes, and giveaways. The blogger had RNY in 2006 and refers to it as having her "guts rearranged," which I love! Haha. She actually lives here in Temecula, CA where I live. You can find it on Facebook, Twitter (@eggface), Pinterest, etc.

Anyway, since we are all starting our new lives this month, I wanted to pass along her latest giveaway. It's a Nike gym bag filled with lots of useful stuff.

Jessica

I am new to the forum. I am having surgery Sept 5th. I did not have to do a preop diet just a bowel cleanse the day before with Clear Liquids.

Jessica

Hi all! This is day 8 of my liquid pre op diet and I've lost 10 pounds! Crazy, I'm not hungry, but I miss eating. Sept 11th is my surgery date. It's becoming so real! A little fearful and apprehensive at this point, but reading everyone's posts, even news about complications, helps so much! Thank you all for being right here when I need you!

Hi! Well I'm new here but I am having my surgery on Friday! (the 7th). It feels to me like the whole process was a long waiting game! Lol...probably because I am so excited!!! One week down on two week protein shake diet and one to go! Gosh has that been tough!!! But the lights at the end of the tunnel and nothing but blue skies ahead!!! wishing everyone the best!!! I hope you all have great support!!! I have come to realize people I thought were my friends say nothing but critical things and snide comments and lots of negativity!!! Just gives me more strength to overcome!!!!
