  4. Had my last meal with my kids and my best friend. We all decided that my hubby doesn't like Chinese and the kids and I love it so that's where we went for lunch today. Sad to say I believe this was the only meal that I stuffed myself to the gills knowing I wasn't going to put anymore solid food into me for a long time from now on. I'm mentally preparing myself to take that nasty cleanse drink right now, can't wait to greet the porcelain God all night long today lol. Before I know it it will be morning and I'll be heading for the hospital. We are going to take Before pictures tonight after the kids go to bed or right before. I think they are more nervous then I am, especially my 5 year old.

      I agree with Jane13 and Shrinking Peach, It will be smooth (of course some rocky parts) but short lived. I am cleaning off your spot on the bench as we speak. Keep us posted on your progress when you are able.

  5. Getting really nervous now. Tomorrow is my last day before the surgery, it's all becoming more reality now and I'm excited but also nervous about the future and what it holds for me personally. I know this is my best chance at reaching my best health and my best weight but it's not going to be an easy journey at all. Glad I found this site and have a few folks around me that have went through similar procedures themselves.
