OMG I can't wait till my surgery! I'm so ready to b a normal size just like everyone else in my family, to b able to sit in a restaurant chair without worrying weather it is sturdy enough to hold me or not, to fly somewhere and not b so uncomfortable because I don't want to take up room from the person beside me. I'm just so sick and tired of being the fat lady!

Gaye,

I so understand your feelings.

My whole family are "normal" size, even thin. My older sister is almost 60, I'm 58, then 55,52,50. Reason I mention theiir ages, just to say all their lives they have always been active, sports etc.

The main person in my "situation" is my mom. (I've mentioned her before) she was always so weight contious, reminding me of my weight. Like i needed to be reminded.

It is so exciting to be looking forward to having WLS. Continue to be happy - then enjoy your future journey in sleeveland.

So Crafty how r u doing with liquids?

[CraftyV 61]

Hi Slim,

I am getting my surgery done through Kaiser and they do not require a liquid diet. They just want us to eat a balanced diet. The day before surgery, I can eat my normal meal and nothing after 6pm. the day of the surgery I have to take milk of magnesia in the AM. Thats all! Lucky huh?

[SLIM12 19]

Ok well I'll b thinking about you, post when you feel like it.
