New Member, 6/28/10 Surgery Date

[WendyWE 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this site, but excited to connect with people who can relate to what I'm going through. We just returned from a family cruise (34 people) in celebration of my grandmother's 95th bday, so I just started my Opti Fast today. So far it's been okay, I thought I would be a lot hungrier. I have been somewhat cranky, but my husband has been great.

I look forward to sharing my story with you all; I now know where I can go if I need some moral support!

Welcome !! I'm a newbie also. We have the same surgery date. I've been lurking around this site for 3 - 4 months and it has a wealth of information. Everyone is very supportive. We can go through this journey together since we have the same start date. I'll be having my surgery in San Francisco with Dr. Jossart......I'm finally calming down. Had my last hurdle yesterday. My pre op chest showed a possible lung nodule. It turned out to be a congenital anomaly of one of my blood vessels. I'm so relieved. Didn't want to have surgery only to die of lung cancer in 5 years. My friend said at least I would have a smaller casket. :thumbup:

Thanks Loozie, Breezy! Today is day 2 of Opti-Fast Protein Meals, and so far, so good. I'm not really hungry, which surprised me! I do my pre-op next week, so I'll let you know how it goes.
