Aug 4!!

I started the liquid diet yesterday and so far so good. Although tonight I experienced my first case of nerves. All of a sudden I thought, "OMG, I'm really doing this. I'm going to have this device in me forever." Then I thought, yes I am and it's no different then a knee replacment to help someone walk. Just like knee pain keeps someone from fully living life and hurts them, the weight hurts me and keeps me from living life to the fullest. This calmed me down and put things in prespective.

Wish me luck!

I hope to have an Aug. date!! :) I have been considering LapBand for about a year... But because of finances have never been able to have it. Well, due to my PTC and CHiari, I have met my yearly max and my insurance has to pay 100%! THe catch is, my calendar year starts over Sept. 1. So, I have to get approved, pre-oped and banded by then! My docator says he can make it all happen, so long as the insurance doesn't drag their feet!:) So here's hopin'!

My surgery date is August 13th, I also work in a modified school calendar year and we are already backto school. I am excited also but afraid in the same breath. I have been thinking about how many days I will have to be off work. I was shooting for July but ended up with Aug. I am just so happy to be getting this done.

      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!!
