Day 21 of Optifast, Surgery Tomorrow Morning!

Jan 31, 2017

Today is my last day of Optifast!  I think I'm going to miss it, lol.  I'm down 21 Ibs, and I lost 4.5 inches off my waist, and over 10 inches all together. 

I'm flying out of the Sault at 11 and will arrive in Toronto at 12:20, at the Billy Bishop (not Billy Bob, like i keep saying, lol) airport.

Thank goodness I'm not coughing today, so far, and I slept through the night with no problems.  Yesterday I had a dry cough, more like a tickle in my throat, and this morning I needed to clear my throat and that's it. 

I'm so mad that "shark week" arrived late last night, just in time to be at it's worst today and tomorrow.  I hope that won't affect my surgery, and I hope to God they'll allow me to wear underwear so I won't die from shame.  I watched one lady's video and they didn't allow her to wear underwear and it's been freaking me out ever since.  Gosh, I'm 52 years old; i wish shark week would just go away. I was a few days late this month too; it would have been so much better to be a few days early.  Oh well; nothing I can do about it. Sorry for the TMI.

My Dad is driving me to the airport; I hope the roads aren't too icy today.  My friends are picking me up at Billy Bishop, and the one friend who told me she'd stay with me through surgery last night informed me she probably would just stay with me until I'm taken away for prep, and then come back later once I'm awake. I should be OK with that because there's really nothing she can do, but I"m kind of freaking out because I would rather have been told from the start that she wasn't going to stay with me so I wouldn't have counted on her.  She's been so helpful and there's really no need for anyone to be there while I'm out, but it does feel weird to know nobody will be there with me if anyone goes wrong.  Not that I expect or even worry that anything will.  I know my parents were expecting updates from her too, and I was hoping she'd hold my purse. She said she'd take my purse home with her but I really hate the thought of being without it.  I'm probably worried over nothing.  I just know if the roles were reversed, I'd never consider leaving.
