finallytime

Nervous, anxious. Scared. I could go on and on. But overall pretty excited to become the me I was always destined to be. Unfortunately my husband comes from a family of 8 kids all genetically blessed with the skinny jean - and not most understanding as he just doesn't get it. so I will be on here a lot more for support in the coming days, months, years!!!

Not hard to follow orders this week as it's next to nothing on the clear liquids

SF Popsicles? Broth? People have mentioned heating pads? What do I not know that I need to know in the next day

All over and done and I am home resting now!

Thank all. Home and resting!

Weird that it's so real now!!

All done and home now

All done and home already. Sore, but certainly not as bad as I thought it would be- but maybe that's the meds talking

Am finally very nervous!!! Never second guessed myself through this whole process until right now. Give me strength to get through the next few hours.

Thanks everyone. Not helping that my husband is less than supportive. However, blessed to have many friends who are!!!

Good luck. I leave in 3 hours for mine.

Thanks. Just got the confirmation call. Tomorrow at 1:30!

Thanks!!! Just really looking forward to the next leg of this journey

Hoping for some great check ins from everyone tomorrow . I won't know the time of my surgery until late tonight when the hospital calls to confirm. But at least I know it's tomorrow!!

Thanks everyone. Can't believe tomorrow is the day. Woke up today with a tickle in my throat too!! So I will be gargling with salt water all day today as tomorrow starts the new me!!! Near impossible to get liquid Tylenol for adults or gas x strips anywhere near me. Two more pharmacies to try near work today.

I am Friday too. Really getting down go the wire now. Very excited and nervous!

Just spent the last few hours with my soon at the pediatrician in basically a Petri dish of germs. He has been diagnosed with the flu. Please pray that I either get it quickly or not at all. I do not want to reschedule this surgery. Not to mention I am mentally ready for this too!

Surgery is Friday and I am getting beyond cranky. I posted yesterday that I wish my dr had me on all liquids. This one solid meal is becoming difficult. Again, I know in the grand scheme of things I am doing great. But two days with minor slip ups is two day too much. Today my father came by with homemade sauce and wanted pasta for lunch. So the dumbass I am by putting everyone first makes the pasta for him, my husband and my son. Had my protein shake and then when I was cleaning up something took over and I had a couple pieces. I didn't have the meatballs or sausage, but still had some! Ugh!! This mental thing will certainly be the hardest. Looking to find a new therapist now that specializes in eating disorders so I have a better outlet.

Day gets better and need some good mojo sent my way. Just spent two hours at the drs and my little guy has the flu, so of course since we left every bone in my body has been aching.... So please pray this only goes 2 ways 1) nothing happens or 2) I get it and it's over within 48 hours so I am still good to go for Friday. I do not want I reschedule!!

Thanks. I need to be proactive about this. Reactive is what got me to 300lbs!

Weird knowing that this is the last Friday I will Ever wake up and not have the band. I am now less than a week out and getting more nervous by the day, but looking forward to a healthier me!!

Ugh. In a weird way I wish my pre op had no solids at all. Dr allows one solid meal a day. And for 5 days I have been perfect! Today, not so much. I mean a week ago this would have been a great day, but.... I had two spoons of my toddlers Mac and Cheese that he didn't finish and two Dots when we were making a gingerbread house... So frustrated with myself. I logged it all and have to remember that a week ago it would have eaten three boxes of Dots, all of his Mac and cheese and a dozen other bad things in just one day. Hoping this is the only set back I have!!!

Thankfully only 6 days left to go as I am getting to be very cranky . Good luck everyone else!! We can do this!

Make it dec 14th already!

The fact that I have been food shopping for the week for the family isn't helping
