I have my surgery date!

Aug 16, 2012

The appointment with the counselor was a waste of time, but I got cleared and now I have my surgery date.

   October 2, 2012  

I wish it was sooner, but this gives me more time to get into good habits like exercising and watching what I eat.

I have now been off of Coke for 12 days.... Woo hoo!!!

I am drinking a ton of water and have been walking several times over the last week.

My mom said she wants to be here for my surgery. Not sure how I feel about that.  Don't get me wrong, I love my mother and would love for her to be here, but the surgery won't last that long and I should be released the next day according to the surgeon.  So it seems silly for her to drive all the way from Michigan just for that.  I know she feels that she needs to be here because I was there for her when Dad had his accident but I don't want her to feel forced to come.

Oh yeah,  I went into the consultation thinking for sure that I wanted the RNY.  But the doc. says I can get the results I want with the sleeve and it has less complications.  I agreed but have been second guessing that decision. I fear having this surgery and not ever getting below 200 pounds.  In my opinion it would be a waste to go through this surgery and still weight over 200 pounds. 

I have set my goal at 175, but in my dreams I would be lighter still.
