IT's HERE, it's here, it's FINALLY here!

Today is my sleeve surgery, and I'm surprisingly NOT too nervous. The doctors and whole staff have done a fabulous job informing me of everything, that I feel confident knowing what is about to happen to me.

 

I lost 2.5 lbs yesterday. UGH - the 'clean you out stuff' is not fun. But now I'm down 12 lbs since the start of the liquid diet and 20 lbs since I began this journey in Oct. of 2012.

 

My mom and husband are just wonderful and I feel better about the kids' welfare. :) Silly mommy needs to step back and take care of herself!

 

I am proud of myself for sticking with the program and making this HUGE change for ME. I feel better about myself already. Now my only concern is my boobs - their race to my waist is quite apparent and I'm thinking losing weight will only fuel their decent! Hmmmmm . . .

 

The stupid song "I'm so excited" won't get out of my head, but I guess that's a good thing. I can't wait for the new me to meet me on the other side!

CONGRATS! YOU MADE IT! I COULD NOT SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE MY SURGERY AND I WAS NERVOUS! GOOD THING YOU AREN'T. IT WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. MY ADVICE? USE THE BELLY BAND UNTIL IT GETS TOO BIG ;)
