I start on Wednesday. I find it interesting all the different pre-op diet instructions we're all given. Mine's 14 days and only 3 shakes, but all liquid all day. Can only have 1 cup of tomato soup and 1 cup of oatmeal with my shakes. Oh and all the sugar free clear liquids I want (jello, Crystal Light, popsicles). I'm hoping that will make it somewhat easier. We'll see! All I know is that I have to do it to get to my real goal. On surgery day, if I haven't lost weight, they will postpone surgery. They're serious about this and I know I have to be too!

WOOHOO!! Got my surgery scheduled yesterday for January 12. Start my pre-op diet on 12/30. Can't freaking wait! 1.) What is your current and goal weight? 247/155 2.) What is your surgery date? January 12, 2010 (3.) What is your age? 31 4.) Where do you live? Southeast Texas 5.) Where are you having surgery? Beaumont (SETX Bariatric Center) 6.) Who is your doctor? Dr. Kevin Dean 7.) Insurance or self-pay? Self Pay -- apparently my insurance wants me to be morbidly obese and sick for 5 years. 8.) What was your deciding factor? As a single mom I just knew it was time to do something for ME. Can't wait to chase the kids without needing to rest, playing a game of one on one b-ball with my oldest and lasting more than 3 minutes, and so so so much more!
