So far, it has been one week.  I am MELTING!!  I feel overall not too shabby (though I have my moments.)

Starting weight 282.5.  Today... 270.2.

What a great feeling...I know my life is changing.

Much love,

Rebecca

I can't think about anything else right now.  Not even work (and I should be doing work right now) can take mind my mind off of my upcoming surgery.  It would be nice to go to sleep and wake up when it is over.  I don't think I can sleep that long, though.

I am packing my bag for the hospital tomorrow.  I think I am prepared.  But, in case I have forgotten anything, I have prepared my husband and friends for spur of the moment trips to the store for me.  I know that I am being silly.  I have what I need.  I am ready.

I just wish someone would hit the fast-forward button.

Love,

Rebecca

I keep having the same nightmare- I go in for the surgery and they tell me they can't do it for some reason.  I have woken myself up more than once in a panic that something is holding me back from getting the surgery.

I know that I have done all that I was required to do.  Had all my tests and did all my record keeping and the like.  Saw the surgeonand my pcp and the psychologist and the nutritionist and the personal trainer and you name it- I did it.

I wish the day would just get here and I could stop worrying.   I even worry that after more than 10 years of infertility that I'll go in and they come back and say, sorry, you're pregnant!  I would lose my mind....

I am getting myself ready.  Ready as I can be.  Let's go today....

So, I have to wake up 16 more times before my gastric bypass.  I am starting to get just a little nervous, but I am more excited than ever. 

I am hoping things will go as smoothly as they can.  I am committed to making this the picture-pefect, text book case of weight loss surgery via gastric bypass known to man.  Nothing I can do about it while I am asleep, but the moment I wake up it is all up to me!

Hello, all~  I am looking for a network of friends here to share all of my worries, joys, goals, accomplishments, questions, ideas, and thoughts about gastric bypass and the new lifestyle that accompanies it. 

I am 35 (will be 36 on May 27th), married for 10 yrs (to a chef!), no children, one dog.
I am 5'11" and I weigh 285.

I will be posting a blog about me and my situation soon.

Thanks,

Rebecca
