Anyone having surgery 7/11 in rhode island?

I finally got approved for my surgery and was wondering if anyone else is having surgery the same day? I am having it done by Dr Giovanni.

Maybe we can support each other thru it?

Get in touch if you are interested....

Hi Sweetie!

Thanks for the response. I cannot believe that is you in the picture! You have done sooo well.

I am working on my first day of the pre-surgery liquid diet and so far, so good. I am on my third shake now at 5pm, I was getting hungry.

So I figure I will eat dinner around 7 and then call it a day. I didn't think I could do it and am still nervous about the next two weeks, but today wasn't as hard as the 4th of July is gonna be. We are having a hug seafood cookout at my Dads' house on the lake Chowder and clamcakes and shrimp and pasta and all the normal cookout stuff that I can't have. It is not going to be easy, but I didn't come this far to screw it all up.

Wish me luck!!!

No, but I LOVE Rhode Island now, cause Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Rhode Island paid for this shindig! (and I'm in Atlanta :-)

Thats TOO Funny! Considering BlueBlueCrossShield of Georgia paid for mine!!!

Hi I am new to the blog and I am having mine done July 11 in Virginia- I am so excited. Good luck and a quick recovery! I am a 47year old mom of two college girls and want to look and feel better. cheers!

UGH! I had a horrible night. I couldn't get home fast enough to eat! I had grilled fish and vegetables, but I made about 7 oz of fish and not the 3 oz I was supposed to have. I didn't feel too guilty because at least it was good food and not chocolate, although I was not supposed to have it at all.

Well, then it gets worse. I grabbed a handful of thin sliced fat free deli ham from the fridge and then 3 slices of American Cheese.

I feel horribly guilty now and am punishing myself by not having my last shake tonight.

I don't know how long it is going to take to get used to not eating all day, but it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am petrified about the 4th!

UGH!

Hey! I'm a fellow Rhode Islander! I'm getting banded on 7/24, but not in RI (because I lost my health coverage). I'm having it done by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. I know....I have to lose 12 LBs. by 7/24, and I'm nervous about that too. Good Luck to you! Let me know how you make out after the 11th.
