Aug 31, 2007

OK! I'm officially banded!
Im home now, sipping on water, n broth.......
My mid section feels like someone hit me with a bat........
Hopefully the pain will start to subside...
I never realized how much the ppl in my house surrounded themselves with food. I feel like its all they've talked about since I been home.....
Plus it dont help that my mom is helping cook all the food 4 a big Labor Day party my brother is having......im hoping that the feeling of hunger is just mental and it will pass.......any feed back about this would be great!

Im like force feeding myself a salad as we speak, only because I aint really eaten all day...... well thats all 4 now..... my mind has officially hit la~la mode, and is going in 27 directions......ttyl peeps im outta here.

2 Days 2 Go.....

2 days to go and they are stinking dragging.......its a toss up on what Im more excited about, having the surgery or not having to get up for work for about a week or so......
Ok, so I think its probably the surgery, but still, the thought of not coming in here is exciting to me.
And no school wooo hooo, I finally got my diploma last night!!! I officially have my evenings back. I have been going to school MON-THURS from 5-10 for the past 2 years.
In retrospect, I am acomplishing so much this week....
I have gained my ability to work where I want now, more free time for my kids and of course excercise, and the start of a new body so I have the energy to enjoy it all!!! I havnt done this much for myself ever I dont think. LOL

I have totally driven everyone I know insane I think the past week or so, I had myself convinced that something was going to happen to nix the whole surgery deal......everything from worrying about my bloodwork (pre-op), to thinking that the doc would have an emergency and not be able to operate. I know it sounds ridiculous but I think I still in disbelief that I am actually having this done, I am so effin excited!!!!


I GOT MY APPROVAL LETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aug 16, 2007


Although I have surgery date set.........a plan of action, all my post-op "liquids" bought........
I thought for sure this was too good to be true. My life is going in a whole new direction in only 13 days!!!!!!!!
A direction I had started to give up on.
I think I am still in shock....This is like a miracle to me! That in a little less then an hour a doctor can do something that will change EVERYTHING in my life.......
A change in my apperance, my attitude, my outlook on life, my spirit, my confidence, and the way others will percieve me.
My life will never quite be the same after this and for once in my life it is something that is changing that I am extatic about.
I made this decsion soley on my own, have followed thru for months convincing everyone in my path that it IS in fact the right decision for me....that I have researched it, and I am doing quite possibly the most important thing I have ever done in my life.
These people were not there when Ive spent nights crying, endored ridicule and horrible words from my ex (my kids father).........and just utter embarrassment. Have these people ever had to deal with searching for 5 and 6 hours for pants that fit me that dont look like im wearing a pair of my dads jeans. I have cringed at the thought of having to shop for clothes for years. When I was younger it was a sure fight between me and my mom to go shopping together..........
None of these people have been there thru this, so no one will understand why when I pass my refigerator, where my APPROVAL LETTER is posted........I get teary eyed and emotional.
I am so excited and glad there is this place (OH) that I can vent all this.
Good Luck to everyone and I hope I can be an inspiration to others as the members on here have been to me!
