Shamrockgirl and All You other August All Stars who are freaking out,
I noticed that you are 60 years old and I am 61. I am nervous about my age, but think I need to get control and live the rest of my life in a healthier state. My surgery is August 15th and my prop diet starts August 1. I don't know if I am more nervous about the surgery or the pr-op diet. This is such a tremendous change for us. I too am embarrassed by the fact that I have gotten so out of control and made the decision not to tell many people, but I did tell me family. They are very supportive.
I thought about telling people that I am on a new liquid diet when they ask why I am not eating. If they ask any further questions, which I don't think people will, I will then decide what to answer. None of your business is ok for a response.
I am anxious to hear how the surgery goes for those of you who are having it at the beginning of August. I will pray for the success of all the August All Stars. Donna
