Ahh today I am going to be a busy bee lol. Surprisingly I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up at 4am today I must be really nervous lol. Today at 10am I have my ortho appointment, 11am getting nails done (YAY) then at 1:30 I have my PRE OP where I meet with my surgeon, get blood tests, talk with the coordinator and buy Iron and Vitamin C (already have my multi, Calcium, vit B 12 & BA choc rasp truffle chew mmm). I have anemia and need the extra Iron and the vit C will help the absorbtion. My goal weight is to be 215 for the surgery and I really hope I got there, I was 217 around New Years... I skipped dinner and I am super hungry now so I am going to grab a Premier Protein shake- 30 grams of Protein I really hope this keeps me full *fingers crossed*

My surgery is on Wednesday the 25th and I have 4 weeks approved time off. My damn coworkers- they keep pushing to know what surgery I am getting and now they want to know what hospital I will be at so they can visit me are you serious?!?! I mean come on people how nosy can you get! Even my manager said that he wants to visit. At this point I am going to my job and let everyone know that I just want my family and want the respect to be left alone. I've been at my job for five years and we all know each other and hang out off work like family so if this was happening to one of them yes I would be concerned but respect their decision of privacy. But my manager joined a year ago and this is private. I need to tell him that again. I think he told my coworkers I have cancer and I hope that's a rumor. It's just- today I'm full of so many feelings and needed to vent. Only my parents, brother and sister know so this is hard to really have the people that surround you DAILY not know. I do hope you all have a great day/evening.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
