Jennifer, you are gonna do great and it will all be fine. I have a bit over two weeks to wait for my surgery, but the jitters are creeping in occasionally. Sometimes I think "OMGosh, what the hell am I doing?!!" and then I realize I'm just stressed. I know because I'm cursing. And it passes and I get excited again. Keep posting and begging for encouragement. Things get busy and hectic around here (LBT) and we can hardly keep up...don't be afraid to yell over the din..."here I am!!!"

Your gonna do great!

THANKS KATHY FOR YOUR encouragement IT MEANS ALOT TO ME...

AWW no problem, okay 6 more days means your surgery date is...the 30th Wednesday? I'm adding you to the April Bandsters list...see the thread in the Support forum.

No problem Jenn: Let me think that first month I think I lost around 20 lbs maybe 22lbs. But it was mostly water loss but it was still a loss. That first month I was mostly on liquids then mushies. So protein drinks, soups, tuna (very mushie), refried beans made with tomato soup. LOTS of soups. I would recommend getting the Magic Bullet and blending lots of your foods for the mushie stage. I wish I had known about it then.

Hi Jennifer! So your count down has begun.. THis is very exciting! You'lll do great! Just think of how wonderful summertime will be for you. I hope you heal up real quick & reach your goal in record time. You can do it!!

Hi Jennifer! It's not so bad - recovery that is. I got mine yesterday afternoon and already up and around. Slowly and carefully but doing pretty well. Spend some time getting prepared with pillows, heating pads, ice packs, broth, juice, etc to help pass the time. You'll be fine and good luck!!! Laura

It's only natural for you to feel the way you do. It will be here and over before you know it. Be sure to come and post how you are doing when you are able!

Jennifer....my date is April 29 and I'm in the same boat as you are! One minutes I'm so excited I can hardly stand it, then the next I'm scared out of my wits. I'm just ready for my new and better life to begin! Things are only going to get better for us....we just have to remember that!
