1 Hour To Go

Well, its time. I am now leaving my house to go the hospital. I am excited and extremely nervious but I glad the day has finally arrived.

1 Day To Go

One more day to go…actually I have 19 hours 4 minutes and 29 seconds left. I am surprisingly not worried…probably the calm before the storm. I consider myself lucky. I didn’t have to go on the Optifast meal plan for two weeks like most of my doctor’s patients. I only had to do the liquid diet thing for two days. Yesterday was hard because it was the super bowl. My husband made pizza for himself and the kids while I had a delicious bowl of hot beef broth…yum…not! I am sooo hungry right no

2 Days To Go

Next Tuesday is my surgery. I am no longer struggling with my decision to go forward with it despite that fact that two of my closest friends have been very negative lately. My one friend who has bariatric surgery, says things like, “You’re really going to miss eat…you’ll see” or “Well, you lost some weight on your own, do you really think you need to get the surgery?” Now, I know what the nutritionist meant when she said that your friends and/or family will try to sabotage your success.

To Sleeve Or Not To Sleeve...

I have 22 days to go and I am up and down on my decision. It seems crazy to think that I am not 100% sure. Today, I searched the internet for an alternative. One of the website said that calories don’t count!!!! Can you believe it!!!! Anyways, I started thinking yet another fad. Then I came across an article about the health benefits to WLS and Cardiomyopathy…and that changed my mind about the whole doubt thing. I know that once my day comes, I’ll be ok.

Got A Date

So I have a date. Very excited but I still can't believe it. It doesn't feel real. Even after I went to my first post approval appointment. And I have sooooo many appointments more to go to before my surgery. I think part of me believes that this isn't going to work. I know that doesn't make sense but I have been on soooooo many diet plans that have failed a part of me this will be the same. I feel like I don't want to get my hopes up to much just in case. I wish I wasn't so negative.
