So, tomorrow is surgery day. I have done everything I can do to prepare for this day. The last two weeks have been very difficult in terms of the liquid diet. Smelling food has been a big challenge and honestly, I have spent much of the time being very hungry. I did not deviate one time and for that, I am pretty proud of myself. I did it!
At this point, I am not scared. I am excited and looking forward to ending this part of the journey and to starting the next part. The part where I lose this excess weight and start to move around freely. The part where I don't need a CPAP machine, the part where I don't have GERD, the part where I don't have high blood pressure, and lastly, the part where I am no longer considered MORBIDLY OBESE!
Earlier this week, I did have some jitters. I have a friend who is about a year out from her surgery and who has made tremendous progress getting fit and healthy. I needed to hear the reality check that I knew only she would know. For that, I am eternally grateful! She said everything I needed to hear.
I have been checked out by the doctors. I have done everything asked. I am good to go.
Just got my check in time for tomorrow. It is 1230 and surgery at 3pm. Yay!
Here we gooooo......
Hey there!
ReplyDeleteI was reading your blog and figured that your surgery was more than a month ago! How did it go? How are you doing right now? I'd love to know about the post-surgery!
Hugs,
