Well, only one week out from my surgery now. I'm not feeling nervous or even excited yet. It's come up on me so quickly and I have so much to get done beforehand. Having a full time job, going to school part time, three kids and a house to get ready for company, since I have family coming out to help me out post-op, has got this girl a little over tasked right now. School has me more stressed out than anything right now. I'm really hoping not to fall behind over the next couple of weeks. At this point I just want to get the next few weeks over with and get on with my life.

I'm also a week out and starting to get completely stressed. I also work full time. I feel like I have to have my house perfect for while I'm

Gone and when I get home. My hubby wants to stay at the hospital with me so I have to make a schedule for our son and all that good stuff! It gets stressful!

Did you have a lot of pain right after surgery? Did you follow a strict diet before surgery? Did you ever cheat a couple of weeks before surgery? Sorry to ask so many questions. My surgery is on October 29th and I am starting to get very nervous and excited! :)

Surgery is today!! Excited, nervous but not scared like I have been for the past week. I am last on the schedule but of course they want me there by 7:30 am ... oh and I was told to bring a book <_<. Everyone take care and send prayers my way! I will be back on the other side of this journey in a few days.

I have about an hour before leaving for the hospital and my surgery. I was doing okay until my oldest daughter (9) asked me why I had to go. :( Anyhow, pray for me and the surgeon today. I'll let you guys now how it goes. Already really thirsty and so not looking forward to the gas pains that everyone talks about.

We are surgery buddies! I don't have to be there until 10:45 am though. I would have rather gotten it done earlier. Prayers your way.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
