Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

4 more for me... feels like forever! Hilarious story...

Today I woke up and had a conversation with my liver. It went like this:

Me: Listen Maria (yes' date=' I named her), we need to get it together before surgery, girl.

Maria: Stop telling me what to do! I run the show right now.

Me: just friggin shrink as much as possible already, geez! Stop being a big baby.

And then I really woke up and realized I was just having a dream about talking to my liver, and I named it Maria! WTF??? LOL!!!

Maybe I am getting nervous and it is manifesting in strange ways. Hahaha[/quote']

Lmbo!!!! You are a nut!

I finally have a date. It looks like I won't be with the April dates. I will go on June 4th. Seems like a long time away, but I am sure it will fly by.

I had my surgery on April 8th (Monday). I am still pretty sore but I feel much better with each day that passes. It is the weirdest sensation to realize that you haven't had to eat anything to be satisfied. I have had to set a alarm on my phone to remind myself to drink. Not hungry at all. I have had a few popsicles and some jello but broth just doesn't sound appetizing at all yet. Taking my medication is by far the worst part of it all. It just tastes nasty to swallow those crushed pills and gross liquids.
