Hello,my name is Karen and I am scheduled for surgery on the 14th of August, I am doing my liguid diet and really hoping I can make it through this portion. My friend told me about this web site and I am so excited to know that their are so many people going through this that can help support, and I hope I may be a support also. Im just kinda mixed on feelings at the moment the mood swings are pretty intense when your not eating like your use too. Im alittle nervous, that for the most part Ive not been a sickly person and I dont want to be a henderance to my family. I really feel this is going to be an awsome experiance just like many of you I have been over weight my entire life. :smile: this really does discribe my feelings right now...
