Visit to the "nut", yes, my visit was strange, she asked me if I had ever killed anyone and when I informed her I was in Marines, she switched subjects- very strange person!

I start my pre op diet Monday, goinna have to learn to love beef broth....

3 more weeks until surgery and next week is the preop with my dr and the hospital. Anxieties are surfacing and the time has flown by. This is surreal but long awaited. Looking forward to the new me....

Good times ahead after we have surgery, my plans are to go shopping a year from now and by ALL ne wsuits OFF the rack!

New suits!

I plan to shop where the rhin girls do but hopefully the "big girl" mentality isnt too hard to destroy.

Get some really nice ones, go to a class reunion and watch the jerks from before drool!

Lol. Oh im not worried about them. I have a very loving husband. But its a clvalid point...

Im also on the 5th!

I'm going in on Sept. 10 I am super excited and happy to see that there is a lot of support on here.

Mustang Steve did you go through your cabinets and frig and freezer making a stack for the food pantry for friends and pitching stuff? I did that today-it felt so -weird but cleansing somehow! You ready for your protein/liquid? I am right there with you starting it tomorrow-15 days!!

Good luck to everyone. Being the daughter of 2 nut drs i have to say that made me laugh
