My surgery has been moved to May 13th from May 6th. Even though I am excited about getting the surgery' date=' I'm kinda glad for the extra prep time. I had my pre-op with the surgeon on Friday and I will meet with the anesthesiologist early next week. The surgeon spent about an hour with me and my support person who was very impressed. Just about all of my friends and family are against me getting the surgery because they don't think I need it and want me to do Weight Watchers because Jennifer Hudson lost a lot with them. (I call BS on that but I digress). Anyway, good luck to all.[/quote']

I've switched your date. :P. Your now the day before me. Your doing this for you and if others can't support you, just stick with the ones who do! You are gonna do great and feel so good. Good luck on the pre op diet. Mine starts tomorrow..

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

Freaking out!!! Go to meet with the surgeon in an hour. Petrified he is gonna postpone my surgery because I have not lost weight. I kinda did but not enough. I first saw him the beginning of oct. I was 202. But then the holidays came and being an idiot and thinking it was the last time I could really enjoy them I shot up to 216. Now I'm down to 204. So nervous. Plus my mom is going with me to appt. it took her along time to come around and be supportive so I'm so scared she is going to see I'm already a failure.

Freaking. Out...Only 4 more days!

The doctors office called this morning to remind me of my pick up orders appt. on Thursday and verify my surgery. Surgery on Friday @ 8:00 am.. Struggled a bit with the pre-op diet the first week but got back into the swing of things again. My husband and I went out this weekend to a couple different places for some Protein Drink options for after the surgery.. Not sure what I will like after surgery so picked up an array of drinks. Picked up some stuff for the hospital like the Gas x and face wipes. Worked like a mad woman today trying to get my office in good order. I feel like my mind is always racing, racing all over the place. How is everyone else doing?

      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!!
