Ok this is more exciting as crazy as it may seem than many if not all first dates I ever had before I got married.

So this date is the date with the rest of my life. Hopefully a start of a beautiful new relationship with me, food and well food.

I am so excited. I have no reservations or fears.. as of right now. I only told my husband the date. As it turns out my parents to my surprise are less than thrilled about my decision. This is the first time in my life I have not sought approval from my parents. It only took me 33yrs to obtain this feeling. So anyhow. I decided that I am not telling anyone in my family the date so they dont worry. I will just tell them when its done.

So now I begin starting the new me. But here is the screwed up thing about this whole process. I am over a month late. I have taken 3 test all negative so I figure its just nerves, stress ect. And here is the thing. (tell me ladies if I am wrong) I am only late when A: I want to get my tom and do whatever, or B: I have something planned. SUPRISE SUPRISE. I had decided a long time ago children is not something I want. I love my career and I dont feel I am cut out to be a parent. This is why I have 2 dogs. I love my boys more than it is probab to beconsidered normal. So if my beloved TOM does not come over the weekend I will be forced to go see my gynocologist and have him take a looksy. Yeah me. :lovechoc:

Now if you are still reading this then you are wanting to know my date. Well my date is Sept 30. I dont have to do any kind of preop stuff like liquids for 2wks before ect. Surprised? I know I was. Anyhow I just want to say thank you to all who have read this post and answered my and other prebanders questions. You truely have made a valuable contribution to those of us in the wings. It helps settle the nerves. I for one.. am gateful:smile2:

Hi Maranda,

Congrats on getting a date. As of today the 6th I am on day three of the Liquids. MY date is sept 18. I am excited for me and glad to have all the bandsters for support.

I know it is neve wracking about your TOM. I used to skip or be late when I was stressed. But at 47 going through menopause. Last night at work I was having cramps. I thought surely it has something to do with this liquids and going to start its been 8 months without. but my luck it will happen before at the day of surgery.

What do you do for a living just curious. Well got to go. Good luck and talk to you later. We wil do this together

Renea
