May 31

Hello everyone! I'm new here....but so glad I found this forum!

My date is May 31. I live in Virginia Beach but I'm having surgery about 45 minutes away from home.

My surgeon only requires a 1 day liquid preop diet. Everyone seems to have 2 weeks so I'm wondering why he's different. I'm definitely going to ask him about this during my preop appointment on may 23. (The surgery coordinator said I will have a 2 week liquid diet AFTER the surgery.)

    Now this is going to be one Memorial Day that you will remember for a long, long time. :)

    How exciting is looking forward to your "journey"?

    --at the starting gate.--just waiting for the starting pistol to fire.

    I wish you well, and will start getting your spot on the "Losers' Bench" ready. :)

    Prayers going up for you.

    How is everything going for you? My surgery date was also May 31st but I live in the San Francisco bay area of CA. I am healing ok. Some pain at the large incision site mainly but overall not bad. Are you up and about now? I am still feeling sore walking and and sitting up but not bad overall. How about yourself?

    I'm doing well! The pain at my large incision site was also the worst, but it started to take a turn for the better just yesterday. Yesterday I was even able to run a few errands.

    As of yesterday I lost 12 lbs- totally blows my mind!
