I am excited too...and still nervous about the IV (no veins) and anesthesia. Thursday is my day and I am shocked now at how quickly it rolled around. I am thrilled to have you all here. I am so glad we have our Jazzy June Group! I too will write a note when I get back home. God Bless all of us! Our moment has come!

I too am excited and happy. Not nervous..just yet, and because of the way Kaiser does their program, feel as though I've already started this program in January...this tool is one more step to my success and it's a great feeling to be on the right track. Good Luck My Jazzy June Friends. It's nice to know I've got somewhere to turn when I need advice.

Cathy,

I start 2 days of Clear liquids tomorrow in prep for surgery. Just had to eat high Protein before that and watch my portions. I'm dreading that and then after surgery it's another 5 to 7 days of liquids. Good luck to you!! We can do this!! Here's to a sweet recovery weekend!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
