Finally a date!!!!!!! - ThinnerTimes

After many long monthes of waiting I finally have a date, December 19. This will be the best Christmas present ever. I haven't posted much lately guess I was going through a low time thinking this was never going to happen I have still been trying to keep track of you guys.

I had an emotional meltdown this morning after I got my appointment. Cried and cried. I have been holding the emotions at bay and trying to be patient but it all comes to the surface sometime. My husband is so good he knows just what to say..... or not say

Made my pre surgery physical for Dec.13 also a manicure and pedicure for the morning of the 13

I know I will need to chill before I see the Doctor. Also want my toes to look nice since I won't be able to do anything with them for awhile. I assume bending will be harder than it already is.

Please keep me in your prayers. I appreciate this forum soooooo much I have learned so much from you all and keep learning every day. You guys are the best even though I'm jealous of you CA girls and your meetings and parties!!

Congrats! I am the day after you. I want to get a pedi, too! Good Idea!

I'll be thinking of you!!Go for the pedi you deserve it. Where in Illinois are you? I'm in Pella surgery in Grinnell.

I'm in Decatur. I need to see if my sis will join me for a pedi... I feel like I should be preparing but not quite sure what to do. I am trying to get my Christmas shopping done early...

First and foremost - congrats on the date for surgery. Keep yourself busy these next few weeks. Do all the holiday shopping and decorating. Make soups if that's what you'd like to have when you get home. Freeze them in small containers. Why am I such a font of wisdom? Cuz I go in tonight for Wed. am surgery and that's what I did!!!

AND guess what I did on Saturday? Yep, I had a pedicure - red and white stripes, candy canes doncha know, on the two big toes. I think I want someone in the OR to see them and remember they are working on a real person with a good sense of humor not just a large body. Makes sense doesn't it?

As I have read over and over again, see you on the thin side!!!!

Congrats on the date Diane, what a wonderful Christmas present. Just make sure they don't paint your fingernails. Something about the anesthesia guy needing them clean.

I'll keep you in my thoughts!!

Diane I did the same, I cried in disbelief. Let them flow, there is nothing wrong with shedding tears of Joy. Congrats on your re-birthdate. I made getting my toes done top priority. Had to have cute toes while walking up and down the hall

. Treat yourself.
