Mine is also the 29th! But unfortunately it's the 29th of July. But I've waited this long, my day too will come. ????

Congratulations! You are going to do wonderfully and will have all the great people here to help you along the way. Let us know how you're doing. You are just hours away from a terrific new life!

Hey Peg, thanks! Funny enough I wish I had 2 weeks to go lol. My doctor didn't have me on a liquid diet, I got to have protein shakes and fruits and meats, just weighed out. I don't think I could survive on 2 weeks of liquids, good luck ! I'll see you on the flip side, so we can exchange recipes at some point soon !

Mea culpa yours is the 30th. My mistake. Sometimes my excitement gets ahead of me. Aside from the date everything else I said stands!

I'm in south Florida Kell ! How are you feeling ?! I feel like I'm gonna faint when I think about tomorrow ????

Thanks sooo much ohjul! ☺️

Congrats!! Mine is Wednesday. Super nervous and excited. Been on semi liquids since last Sunday by choice. Doc said 1 week, after eating everything I could think of I started 3 days earlier.

You were always worthy Kell, it's just a matter of realizing it, and I'm glad you did ! I know that this is the best thing for us both, the way I'm looking at it is that this is just the scary part before our new lives begin. I just finished crying, not sure what your hospital is like but my nurse at doctors office said she'll have the nurses at the hospital give me something for the anxiety before the surgery... What time is your surgery ? Mine is going to be around 11:30, sadly I'm the 3rd person tomorrow ????

Mine is at 11:30 too! I am looking forward to some anxiety medication. If they don't offer, I will ask. I just worry about being under anesthetic for 3.5 -4 hours. I have never been under that long.
