TGIF! Last day of work before surgery!

May 13, 2011

3 more days til surgery.. or as my father would say 2 more days and a wake up...lol  I can't believe how close i am to this lifestyle change.. I have officially lost 20lbs since my pre-op diet started on May 2nd.  i have 5 lbs to go til I hit 299.  Do you think i can lose 5 more lbs in 2 days?.. Maybe i can do it before surgery..lol  Either way it has been so long since i have seen 200s..and now i am so close to the surgery..and the weight is going to fly off of me.. i am soo excited..still nervous, but i trust my surgeon at Jefferson...I just pray that i am not the one who makes the statistic numbers...I need to be strong, I need to stay positive... This is going to be good... I can feel it..
I am going to work my butt off literally this weekend with gardening and house work to keep my mind occupied..I just know it will be like waiting for christmas morning come Sunday night.. and i really am going to make the scale hit 299 for surgery...lol  4 months flew by...I have learned so much from OH, and have met some awesome people... I apreciate how open everyone is so I can learn from people's experiences... Taking things one day at a time.. I never thought in a million years i would survive 2 weeks of liquid diet..i am proud of myself..
Today is my last day in work and I will be coming back less of me.. A whole month off..woohoo.. I know people say you dont need that long, but i am taking advantage of it, if my work pays me for short term disability, i am taking what is given to me..and my doctor feels 4 weeks is a good amount for recovery..plus i dont want to come back to work with eating just liquids.. I am looking forward to the time with my daughter.... I plan on going to the park with her almost every day..and going for walks...
I can't believe I am doing this!
