I have exactly 21 hours, 21 min and 46 seconds until I am in the OR for my VGS! I am packed and ready to get this past me so I can start my new life!

 

I had my pre-op visit with the nurse this morning, I am pre-registered and I have everything on my list checked off! Now what do I do for the next 20 hours of my "life as I have lived with for this long"! I do not think I will be able to get much rest tonight, however, I am sure I will get a few winks of rest recovering!

 

To say I am excited about the decisions I have made, is putting it mildly! I am super, super, super EXCITED and HOPEFUL for the changes that are coming my way! Life will be so different, but I got this!!!

 

I hope all, that are thinking about or have done one of the surgeries, best wishes for a great new year!

 

Hope to post post-op!

    I am BACK and I am forever grateful for my decision to make such a drastic change in my life! Tomorrow will make a full week post op and I have lost 17lbs. I will not lie, getting used to the sipping opposed to the gulping has been a challenge! I am amazed at the confidence I have gained as well as the excitement of knowing I am finally in the running for my new life!! I wake up each morning (still a little sore =) ) so excited to know that I followed all my drinking and food guidelines and how I know that scale is going to show my committment to this new lifestyle!

    Thank you for following!! I feel as though I have a new family along with my new life on here!!!

    Talk soon!
