I've only told two friends and my sister in law....though I know I'll get support from many friends if I say something - just feel this is a spiritual journey for me. And in time ill tell those that I know will be supportive and besides don't want to jinx anything....lol

My pre-op diet is strictly liquids! That is going to be so hard to do! I'm going to try my hardest to stick to it and not cheat. I know how important it is to shrink my liver for surgery. I am really nervous but very excited!

Hey' date=' Museum Mama! I'm planning on June 19th. I have a 5 day window between summer classes to wedge it in. What's your date?[/quote']

Mines June 19 too!

[Healthier2day1227 326]

Thanks for starting this group. I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited. The nervousness is because I've never had surgery of any kind, never been put under. But the more time passes the nerves give way to excitement. I'm so excited to have a tool for weight loss. I'm so tired of the fat!

Aline, you may have seen one of my posts that Healthier2day quoted just above your comment. I am in grad school now, and I'm scheduling my sleeve for June 19th right between my 2 summer classes. I just turned 49, and like you I never had a chance to go to college earlier in life. I started school at age 44, graduated at 48 last May, and went straight into a masters program last August. In most of my classes I felt like I needed a t-shirt that said, "Yes, I am old enough to be your mama!" but it was also a really amazing experience.
