Well I did it. I had my surgery as planned on 12-22-09. The time was changed 3x due to people cancelling theirs. Almost made me want to cancel too. But I didn't, I braved it out and went with the flow.Everything went perfect. Not too much pain, which was good, cause the pain meds were giving me headaches. Had to stay overnight which wasn't too bad, cause I know it was in my best interest due to my other health issues.
I wanted the Lapband, but ended up with the Realize Band. Which isn't too bad, in the end. They both work the same and make you the master of your journey.
I was on the full liquid diet til yesterday, now I added the protein drinks, yogurt, creamed soups, and making sure I get my fluids in.
For Christmas, my sister Val and her husband Joe gave me a Christmas Card saying they are rooting for me 100%, cause she has seen what my weight has caused me to go thru. They also got me the Biggest Loser Workout DVD, a calorie counter book for when I am permitted to eat out again, a personal blender to make single serve smoothies and shakes, (even printed out about 3 pages of different shakes to try out), and then an 18 pack of baby food (fruits). I cried, cause it was just so personal and it made me feel good to know that my family is behind me.
I just hope in the end that I can let them see that I am working this tool, and making the most of it.
