Tomorrow is the big day!

It is so hard to believe that tomorrow is the day! It seems as if I have been waiting forever, but as it got closer the time seemed to fly. Lesson plans done, lists made, and I am finally ready to pack and get ready to leave at 4:15 in the morning so I can be at the hospital at 5:30. Wish me luck, guys! Say a little prayer, too, if you have a chance!:blushing:

Just two more days!

I have just two more days until my surgery. I am feeling both excited and a little nervous about the procedure. I hope that all will go fine. Most of the people at work are being very nice to me, and I hope that they will understand the changes I am going through. It is hard for some people to get it.

Just finishing day 5 of pre-op diet!

It has been a long week full of the stress of going back to school, opening my classroom, having open house, meetings and more meetings, and watching everyone around me eat like they were starving.

Although I had to sit in my room by myself at lunch and eat my salad and small amount of meat instead of going out, again I thought of the future. I am ready to make a change, and I can do this.   My surgery is 13 days away, and I still have 12

We can do it!

I just started my pre-op diet yesterday, but I feel so encouraged and excited about the changes in my life. I have always been too heavy, and even when I lost weight it somehow found me pretty quickly. My highest weight has been 419, and I have never been normal size as an adult.   I am looking forward to the restriction the band will cause, helping me to feel full. My sister had the surgery four years ago, and she has done so great! I hope everyone out there, whether they have already been ba
