Countdown to the new me!

Dec 18, 2010

I'm only five days away from my lap band surgery, and I'm both thrilled and terrified at the same time.  I've been on the protein supplements for over a week now (doctor's orders), and have lost another five pounds or so, I believe.  I'm thinking about going full force on the supplements for the remaining duration, instead of eating the one meal my doctor is allowing as an option, to see if that helps me lower my weight even more pre-op. 

I have a great family, and they're all being really, really supportive.  In fact, my husband is going to have lap band surgery sometime early in 2011, himself.  He did have an initial surgery date already scheduled (before mine), but, since he's had so much trouble with back pain, he's had to take a lot of time off from work, and didn't have the time off needed to recuperate.  I'm hoping he can get his surgery date scheduled again soon.. .he needs to get his weight off to help ease the pressure off of the bulging discs in his back!

I'm as ready as humanly possible, and hope that nothing goes wrong.  I have three kids, and I want to be released from the hospital on the 24th, so I can be home for Christmas! :)  I'm looking forward to lounging on the couch in my jammies on Christmas morning, drinking my liquids and watching my kids open their presents! :)
