Well, tomorrow I go to hospital for the day. Ultrasound for the gallbladder; Pre-Op testing; and final meeting with surgeon pre WLS. My biggest concern is that something will come up tomorrow that could delay the surgery. My weight?!!?, although I've been mostly good ;-) It has been incredibly difficult to not overeat, when eating has been my way to control stress, now would be the WORST time to overeat. Well, after the surg would be pretty bad to overat too, of course. But then I'm on the other side and in my mind it is already a given that I will not have certain things -- possibly for years. I have accepted that. My other concern is that my blood count my show an infection (WBT was high for 2+ months in Spring, but with no illness). Anemia - would that prevent WLS? Yesterday, I packed off some of my summer clothes, and set them aside for Goodwill. I don't figure I'll be needing the full size shorts anymore. So, as you can see, I am still excited, optomistic, nervous, and challenged.

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side.

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself. ~ Carolyn Warner It's never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
