Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life

[enuf 19]

Tomorrow is my surgery. I was not put on a surgical diet given my lower bmi so I have indulged in my Farewell to food Tour over the last 2 weeks. Indulged is an understatement. Tonight at midnight is my cut off. Am going out for my last supper (did someone mention I was going to be executed?) that will definiitely have fois gras on the menu. And then....enough!

Just got back from the grocery store where I purchased my post-surgical purchases for food for the next few weeks. I was studying the babyfood labels like it was the holy grail when a kind woman behind me asked me how old my baby is. Coulda been worse - she could have asked me when my baby is due!

I have been so distracted that when I picked up my pre-meds at the drugstore I backed into a guy in the parking lot while leaving. Add $1700 to the bill for the new me!

I am excited and anxious. I believe I have an excellent surgeon, good hubby support and the attitude to make this work. If only it wasn't for the "e" word. Exercise. But I will do what it takes to make this work.

Here's hoping. Think of me tomorrow at noon as I drift off to la la land.

wishing both enuf and cccv4 the best!!! I was lucky I was put on the Sugar buster's diet before my surgery...was easy to stick too. but so remember I did over indulge as well on restaurants that I thought I would never be able to eat at again. But guess what...I have gone to all of them now post op and although I don't eat anywhere near what I used to eat...I still have choices at each one of them. So don't fear there is still a realitively normal life after the band surgery...but it calls for healthier choices!!! Congrats to both of you and I will be thinking of you both (enuf today) and (ccv4 on Friday)!!! See you on the otherside like 2muchfun said...btw ladies he is a good person to get suggestions from...he's been there done this...LOL!!!
