I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm jittery. I'm sitting here drinking broth at almost 10pm and finishing up some cakes I have due for customers. I was hoping I'd have down time - but will probably not head to bed until 2am or so. I think i'm going to walk to the hospital from the train (8 very long city blocks) - so at least I'll be a bit tired and walk off some nervous energy.

I'm trying to keep the excitement in the forefront of my mind. I had my husband measure me today to compare to the measurements he took in September before my surgery was postponed. I lost 4" from my waist, 3" from my hips, 2" from my shoulders and 2" from my bust. "Eye on the prize". That mantra will get us through. That, and look how many were before us that have shared some AMAZING success stories!!

Good luck everyone. My surgery is at 1pm - so I will check in tomorrow night.

We did it! I had a full day of buyers remorse in the hospital doubting my descision. But I am feeling great now! Sore still and stiff in my back. Sipping constantly! Lol

Hope everyone is recovering comfortably!

      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!!
