A Date!!!

Oct 11, 2013

My surgery has been scheduled for Halloween Day!  Some people think this is kinda weird or bad luck. But, I think its a great way to start off the Holiday season by not gorging on candy for a week straight.  I have some final pre-op stuff to do this week including a physical, pre-op lab work for the hospital, and my EGD on Thursday to cap it all off.  After that, I start my liquid diet on the 24th.  It's hard to believe by time I have my surgery it all happened in less then 8 weeks.  It's weird knowing I'm taking such a huge life altering step.  After talking it over with my Mom (who seems more supportive of the idea now), I've decided not to make it "facebook" official until after the procedure and have gotten to a point that I'm more comfortable with myself. Call me chicken, but this is more so the avoid the "don't do it" vs "way to go" drama that would probably ensue.  It will be interesting to see everybody's reactions the first time the see me after the surgery, especially those who didn't know it was coming.

There's a lady I work with that has had the same procedure done through the same doctor's office. It has been nice to hear about her experiences. She said the weirdest thing is to not crave anything. It drives her husband crazy when they are grocery shopping and he asks what she's in the mood to eat and she honestly doesn't care.

I ate Cinnabon for one last time and it honestly wasn't that good. I don't know if I'm upset or happy about that. Oh well.  Maybe if I remember the not so good one, I won't miss it as much.

Enough rambling for today.
