Well... Its about noon. This morning was the first day of my pre-op liquid diet. I have to be on this diet for the next two week prior to my surgery. This morning I had a really yummy protein shake with blended strawberries in it and I felt great! Its about noon, and I just felt the first of many stomach growlings. I think by this afternoon the reality of what I just signed up for is going to hit me like a ton of bricks when I'm starving. I had an appt with the Doc who will be preforming my surgery today, and he was really great. I brought my parents because I want them to feel good about this too, and he really took alot of time with us to discuss and answer any questions that any of us may have had. I think my dad might be doing a little better with this whole procedure. And, when he sees my progress, I think he will be even more in favor of it, and hopefully do it himself one day! I had my first weigh in today, and they even took a before picture of me. I'm sure it looked gross, but they didn't let me see it lol. Anyway, surgery is scheduled for the 22nd, and it cant come soon enough!I have attached a pic of what they will actually be doing to me, and you can visit my Dr's website at http://www.westernbariatric.com/ to learn more about it all. I will keep you posted over the next week weeks... if i have the strength to type... jk... On that note, I think I am about to go enjoy a delicious protein shake to take the edge off!

Hi Jennifer,
How are you doing? No, I really DO want to know how you're doing. I've heard you update Facebook, but some of us have chosen not to be on Facebook, so this lonely blog is the only way we have to find out how you're doing.
I know you've passed "Day one of the pre-op diet", but you haven't updated your blog since then. Please? Would you be so kind as to update your blog once in a while? I really am concerned about you, and pray for you. I hope you're doing well.
Miss you.
Holly G
