2 days to go!

I can't believe I am getting banded in 2 days. After all the waiting and paperwork and qualifying...it is almost here.

 

I am calmer now and am having some fun with my "look." I cut my hair short and it looks much healthier. I also bought some new eye makeup and experimented.

 

I spent 4 hours today at the hospital, talking to the head of the bariatric program, doing tests like peeing in a cup and having blood drawn and another EKG. I panicked for a minute because I didn't know the hospital would want money up front, but luckily I've already met my deductible and "$2000 out of pocket" for the year because I already gave the surgeon a $2000 deposit. I was planning to use that money for clothes when I get it back, but it may end up going back to the hospital.

 

I had a protein shake for breakfast but ate too much for lunch and dinner. Nothing like I used to eat but more than is comfortable now. I think I needed to feel one more time what "full" felt like.

 

Tomorrow I do clears only and they told me to drink Gatorade. I also drink 2 bottles of magnesium citrate. "Don't go far from a toilet" they said. hahahaha...ewww
