Well To marrow is my surgery date, Its at 3pm tentatively according to last conversation with pre-op nurse. But it may change later today when the surgery nurse calls me. I am a nervous wreck. My anxiety has been over acting big time. Also Im PMSing, so no being about to any carbs, being on my pre-op diet.. has been dificult . I have tested myself and Im in Ketosis, which means my liver is eating the fat in it. which is a good thing.

Im excieted to start my journy, finally, Its been a fast adventure so far. my orignal consult was in July and testing in August..Started Pre-op diet on the 30th of Aug, and surgery the 6th.

I have yet to tell my family other them my Husband, and he mentioned it to our daughter, (15yo) The 2 younger boys (10 and 5) will not really understand. My Mother is very negitive and will put me down, Saying it will not work,or something like "its about time, but why would you do that". Until I start to lose weight I will not tell her, my sister, who Can not keep a secret to save her life.

So far I have lost 33 lbs since April. and most of that was just watching what I been eating. (on Pre-op I have lost 7 so far.. I will get final verdict tomarrow at hospital) Guess I need to update my signature again.. =P

So if Im rambelling and my thoughts are all over the place, Im sure some of you have had this too.. =)

Good luck!

Right now it's all about finding the people who will give you love and support. Everyone else can just go take a walk for the time being while you focus of taking care of yourself and getting well.

For my weightloss program I was required to go to three support group meetings and there where people there who had a similar experience with their family members. A lot of them choose not to share that with their families. You don't NEED to tell them. If they all you can just say you have been staying active and eating better. They don't need Abby more of an explanation. Only share the news with people you know are going to be there to support you such as your husband and children. Good luck!

:rolleyes:Don't feel guilty about not telling some people, it's ok. It's your band, it's your time. The hubby knows and that's the main thing. Good luck with the surgery tomorrow!
