Can't believe it's finally here. I remember when I made the countdown ticket on my phone. It was 94 days. I'm sitting at work drinking my lunch. In 2.5 hours I will head home to pack up the car.

We are driving to Columbus Ohio tonight to meet up with my mom and then we are flying out tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!!

The hubs and I are both getting surgery Monday. Very much looking forward to being on the other side.

Keep us posted on how things go! (My ticker says 48 days...I know what you mean. Some days I think it's a lifetime away, others I think "OMG - it's too soon!"

Made it to San Antonio. We're checked in at the hotel. Best part of the trip so far...getting off the hotel shuttle, hubs stood up and his jean shorts fell to his knees. Bahaha. Guess the pre-op diet is really working.

Thanks everyone! We are back in the US. The trip was trouble-free. We fly home tomorrow morning. It'll be great to be home in our own bed.

Dr Alvarez and his staff were fantastic. Most of the nurses didn't speak English; however, it seemed there was always someone available if we needed something. Rosie, the hospital van driver was great. Lots of funny stories & she made the trip enjoyable.

      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!!
