I have a date!!!!!

Rate this Entry
So I talked to Lora today, and my date is October 19th!! I am SO excited!!

I just couldn't do the first date they had available because I wanted to be able to give my son the opportunity to come with me and a weekend would make it the minimum of time for him to miss his schooling. The sacrifices we make for our children, lol!!

Just wanted to share with others who can understand my excitement! I was almost thinking that this day would never come!!

    Congratulations! That seems like just the perfect timeline: long enough to make good progress on pre-op diets or enjoy "last suppers" (either way you want it, I don't judge), but not long enough for excitement to flip over into freaking out.

    That's what I thought, but I do have to admit I really wanted the date on the 15th. But I promised my son that I would make it so he could come with me if possible. It will help him feel more at ease with the process, and it will be the first time either of us have gone out of the country.

    I didn't want a several month wait, I have already waited 4 months for my funding to come through. I did shop at the store and get a box of Cheez-Its, a maple bar and a package of sweet potato tater tots. But I was sick for a week, and then fell and put my teeth through my lower lip, so essentially all I have had for the past 14 days or so have been soups. Its almost healed, so I figure I could have one decent meal in a few days and then start my liquid diet on the 12th. So I don't really want to have too much, because right now its not working or tasting too well anyway. And the more I put on right now, the more I will have to loose in the end anyway!

    Now to start packing! It will take me 2 weeks to do that, lol!

    Thank you Hev for the wonderful compliment! I do try to be supportive, we are all on such similar paths, just at different stages. Will be thankful to take this next step in the journey, I'm ready to feel better again.

    Thanks Kim!! Blushing here

    I am a nurse by profession (compassionate person here), who loves to read and dissect the research literature out there. I think with that background it gives me a different angle to help. Knowledge is power, and I think that knowledge is best served shared with others... why keep it to myself??? Let this education be useful and countless sleepless nights be spread to others, lol!!

    I am just so thrilled, I have a girlfriend coming over in a few hours, and then its time to start packing, that in itself will take 2 weeks!!

    Hope this time flies!! Can't wait to join the club!!

    I saw this yesterday! Your visitor message made me realize I must not have posted anything! Sure enough I didn't!! I'm super happy for you and can't wait to see all the success you have. It couldn't be happening to a more deserving person! You have been a great spirit builder to me on the days that aren't as shiny as the rest, and I can't wait to return the favor! Sorry I'm late to the party...I was probably called off to wipe a nose or a hiney in the middle of reading your post...lol.
