I have so many emotions right now: excited (2 more days! I got all 1.5 wks of planning done!), nervous ( bcs, duh), exhausted (liquid diet, long LONG few days trying to prep for last minute surgery), annoyed (how many times do I have to tell my co-workers I'm going on a leave starting Wednesday?? Stop sending me meeting requests!), and amused (my hubs just deadpanned, "So, since Friday you've lost 8 pounds. You should just stick to this 1000 calorie diet and slip the surgery.").

Mostly, I'm sleepy. And really happy I got a last minute date and didn't have to do 2 weeks of full liquids while dealing with middle schoolers... Friday-Tuesday was enough. I bolted out of school today to make it to my PCP for pre-op testing. Had my first EKG (it was normal) and lost probably a quart of blood. Then got completely lost trying to find the imaging center for my x-rays . Tomorrow, I have my hospital blood typing + paperwork fun times and then my second visit with the surgeon. Oh, and I get to start my clear liquid diet and potassium supplements.< /p>

Thursday, I refuse to leave my home! I'm going to sit, read a book, and pet my dog.

This week has been A. Freaking. Whirlwind.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
