I slept fairly well last night, but I'm seriously parched.  I guess that is the least of my worries for today :)

I know my son is worried about me going in today, but I hope to put his fears at rest.  We will talk before I take him to school and I hope that that helps him.  My husband will bring the kids to see me after I am out of recovery and before I am transportted to the overnight recovery facility.

My husband I think is just as nervous about taking care of the kids as he is about my surgery.  He's not a terribly emotional or expressive person.  He's said of course that he is concerned, but I cannot say that he is really worried.

As for me, in my mind this is no different from other surgeries I've had in the past.  The anesthsiologist (sp?) called me last night to go over things as did my surgeon.  Those calls really helped me and I'm just waiting to go!

Highest Weight (Pregnancy): 290
Consultation Weight: 270
Surgery Weight: 255.8

It's coming close to go time and things are getting worked up here. 

My head is spinning a bit, but I'm doing okay.

I am feeling like the little (or not so in my case) engine that could :)

I finally got my approval this Tuesday and am getting sleeved next Tuesday in just 5 days!

So much is going on...
started my liquid diet
cleaned out my closet and took 3 bags of clothing to goodwill
finalized babysitting arrangements for my darlings
cleaned out the pantry and fridge and labeled my shelves :)
picked up my new life log (not a diet log) to record my daily accomplishments
catching up on house work and laundry so that everything will be set for when I am healing
prepared meals, lists, etc. for the kids and my husband
purchased a new scale ...
and I think there is MORE!

I am changing my ticker.  I thought the original weight at my consultation was wrong, but it just looks like my old scale was wrong.  I am changing my ticker accordingly and will make notations of body fat, water, muscle mass, etc. %s. each week.  I was going to measure inches, but I would rather keep track of these things instead.
