So today I went in for my pre-op workup
... It was an eye-opener. You get the usual blood work and X-Rays with the lovely Barium an EKG and a respitory test thing. I got a 103 and you had to have an 80. 
So I passed that for sure. I talked with the dietician today..that's what made me stop and go..woah...
It really made me come to terms of what my life is going to be like. I was reading a post a while ago and the woman was talking about how before surgery your life revolved around food and the surgery was supposed to help with it.. Well it seems that my life is still going to revolve around food. What I can and can't eat, how much, what's in it, am I getting enough, yadda yadda. It just made me think and made me start to get nervous. Do I still want to do it. yes. 
I wan't to loose weight and be healthy and having surgery is the only way that that is going to be possible. I just know that I am going to need support and help through all of this.
On a lighter note, I went and took my clerical test yesterday
and passed it
, so now I'm going to try and put in my application with the school board.
