thanks bunches

yes things are starting to get real as time approaches

I'm also scheduled for the 25th. When are you guys starting your pre-op diets and how do they differ from what you have been doing?

Me two August 25th :-)

I'm August 25th too Ladies

12 more sleeps

August 25th too! I've been on my presurgical diet since the 11th and I've lost 7 pounds as of today I think I've been able to stay on the diet so well because I realize that if I don't it'll make my surgery harder and might even result in a cancellation of my surgery. Can't wait till the 25th and begin my new life.

Good luck!

August 25 here, too.

Easterli, good luck with your surgery. 5 days and counting down. Are you nervous? I haven't been but reading some of these posts about jitters is rubbing off on me. I "Came Out" on Facebook, but I understand why some keep it private. I just wanted it out there to get support. Some family and friends who have kept it personal have reached out to me privately and I am so glad. Hope to read about everyone's experiences. Michele

5 more sleeps everyone..... Its getting very real !

Packing my bag for the hospital can anyone tell me what I should pack please....
