Guys please keep up the prayers. I woke up so sick still and one of the PAs I work with said my tonsils will probably be too swollen for them to get a tube down my throat tomorrow. I'm feeling so defeated. If they have to cancel, this will be the second time. I just want to lay in bed and cry.

I am sitting in the hospital with my beautiful gown and fabulous socks in place. Still not feeling crazy nervous, but would love to get my drugs started. :)

If you're that sick it'll be better if they have to push it back. You don't want to add any complications to your recovery. Maybe the PA should write you an Rx for a zpak or something. Get better soon sweets!!!

I understand how u probably feel. I know u know things work out exactly the way they should and we have no control over that. But at the same time I know u really want this and u want it now. The great thing is, either way - whether u have ur surgery tomorrow or next week - it will happen. Look at it this way, it's been how many years of being overweight and not completely happy? So what is one or two more weeks? U will get there, don't stress too much. Praying for u surgery buddy!!!

Well I have less then 18 hrs until I have to be at the hospital and guess who decides to show up. Apparently aunt flo didn't get them memo that I'm having surgery tomorrow. Ugh. This isn't going to be pleasant.

      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!!
