Pre Op Today!
on April 30, 2009 7:58 am
Today i will be traveling to Santa Barabara. I will do my final weigh in w/ my doctor and then head to the hospital for registration and blood work. I really have to say that i have a sense on calm over me. I trust that i chose a damn good surgeon, i tust that God will be watching over me and i trust that my support system around me is top notch. I may be posting a new blog tonight saying how freaked out i am btw!... lol  I worry about how my recovery will go and how my twin boys will deal w/ why mommy isnt picking them up and rolling around on the floor. I am not mourning food, I am ready to be healthy and happy and skinny!

I am hoping that i get a private room. I am a private person and hope that my hospital experience is a comfy as possible.
I am on clear liquids today, but have to fast until 2pm. After two, i will be dinning on jello, broth and iced tea.... lol YUM!

Anyway, i will talk some new pics today so i have a good pre op starting point.
Wish me luck and i PPPPPRRRRRAAAAYYYYYYY that things go smooth today. No more drama!

48 hours and counting
on April 28, 2009 8:57 pm
Here we are again....
48 hours until surgery day. My nerves arent as bad as last time. Im not sure why. I think it's a mixture of dealing w/ it before and part of me thinks something will go wrong again causing the surgery to be cancelled. I am super excited, but i hate not knowing... ya know??  Some people have very little pain and others have tons of pain. Ive been working out alot lately and have almost lost all ov my vacation weight. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week, then i have pre op thursday  and surgery on friday! WOO HOO!

Keep me in your prayers please

*Lots of love, J
