Amy,

I love your name ???? that is my daughter's name.

I got my date this morning too. I'm not anxious yet, I know I will be when it gets closer to the date. Right now I'm happy that I finally have the date. I hate not knowing, I like to plan a head. So having a date puts me at ease.

It all be good, we do great, all of us, June girls!

I don't know if it will help but I had my surgery 4/23... It wasn't a slice of cake but it wasn't too awful... Either way.. I would do it again!!! I'm 40 lbs down already and in a little stall which is normal... I feel so much better already and it's great that I feel like I just ate a turkey dinner after eating 2oz of cottage cheese!! : ) I found Biotin chews at GNC that taste good and I chew them to a pulp a tiny tiny bit at a time and so far I have had no Hair loss problems!! I started them a week before surgery! I have followed my docs orders to a tee! Everything is going great! In the morning I have my Chike ice coffee cause it's full of Protein and tastes good!! The Chike shakes are not bad either. I didn't like any if the other ones. If you have any questions feel free I am two weeks and one day out and feel really great!

@dreamondreamer.....We can be surgery buddies since our surgery date is the same!!!! I am really really excited. Like most of us, I have struggled with weight all my life but it became an even greater struggle due to a partial hysterectomy at 31 and then the last ovary being taken out 3 years ago. I feel like I am finally going to have a tool that will help me in my journey to be healthy. I have anxiety too but I am confident that everything will work out well. We will have to stay in touch and encourage each other. I am so glad that I found this forum. This journey is not meant to be taken alone and I am so glad to among friends

Anna Maria,

Why, Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't take any credit for the name!????

June Ladies,

Where do you start with preparing for such a journey? Do either of you have kids @ home? Meals to prep for family prior to surgery?

Does anyone have ideas for daily post-surgery goal setting?

Aman,

Yes!!!! We are both scheduled for June 11th, correct?

I'm so sorry to hear about your previous GYN issues. I have considered that surgery too, but I am hoping for relief from losing some belly weight.

Do you have a required liquid diet prior to OUR surgery date?

[KimGettingSlim 41]

Husband and I starting cleaning out cabinets!! We were reading labels!! I am so shocked how the front of package says low fat low sugar but the item ends up with 36 carbs for 1/2 serving. I guess I need to read them better! We are just now realizing that we had items still in our cabinets from the date we moved in!!!! (2 years ago). It's still good!!! If it can stay in the pantry that long how long is it in my body and what chemicals are in it to keep it fresh that long!!!

I am trying out different shakes. Anyone found some that are awesome?

Is anyone cleaning out closets? I am pulling clothes out that are too big or I don't like. Plus I am only keeping a few items of each size. I am going through the summer so I won't need tons of dressy clothes. So my thought is clean everything out. There is no going back!!!!!!

Can you tell my anxiety is getting the best of me? I clean when I am nervous!

How is everyone else's pre jitters????
