I am a 35 yr. old, married, mom of 4 and I live in the Kansas City, MO area. My surgery is scheduled for 3/31/09 with Dr. Stephen Malley and I am on my pre-op diet now. I am excited, scared and miserable..lol This pre-op diet thing sucks! I dunno if I have ever been so hungry in my life and this is only day 4! I am in constant pain from a back injury (made worse by the weight) and my knees. I am currently 234lbs and 5'4'' tall. I have lost 5 pounds in the last 3 days. I just keep telling myself the payoff will be worth whatever I am going through now. Keepin' my eye on the prize.
Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and introduce myself. Since I have pretty much secluded myself until my surgery, I am sure I will be on the board a lot! lol
