Will be there until Saturday (band revision so the stay is longer). I'll be doing a chemical peel the day you get there.

Look how savvy you are...awesome multitasking!

On time airport pickup and an easy border crossing. Marriott is quite nice. Been upgraded to a nice view (platinum Marriott status). I killed some time in the lobby for a bit and now I'm enjoying the first of what will be many bowls of chicken broth in the restaurant. It is good. Also a nice cuppa tea. There's a big buffet across the room. I think it would be harder to travel with someone and watch them eat and drink. Course being pre surgery I'm currently starving and pictured about a hundred ways to kill the guy in the lobby with a piña colada and snack mix.

Since I'm traveling solo, I'll check out in the morning and meet the van at 6:40am then recheck into the hotel when I return Tuesday.

I'm surprisingly calm.

      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!!
