Two Days And Waiting.
Nov 03, 2013
Well, here it is Sunday night November 3, 2015. My check in is Tuesday November 5, 2013 at 6:00 am. I have spent my day cleaning my house like a mad woman, preparing for my nephew and his wife to come and stay with my teenage kids and grand baby. Their job is to make sure the house is still standing when we get home, and to help out with the grandson. My hubby and I have our bags packed. We are set to leave for the coast tomorrow at 6:00 am as we need to be at our first appointment by 11:00 am. From what we understand we will be allowed to return home by Monday November 11th. I am prepared for leaving, prepared for surgery at this point. My hardest thing right now is leaving the kids. I haven't left my kids but on very few occasions. I know that they are "old" enough. I know that they are "good" kids. I know that they have "responsible" adults staying with them. However, I also know I am having a hard time not stressing about them. I joked around with my brother tonight, who had texted me to stop worrying about the kids and to take care of my hubby and myself, that even when my kids are 30 I will still worry about them.
Well, I guess I am glad that the surgery at this point is not my main concern. It serves as something to take my mind off the surgery, and what is to come next. That is until my step-mom called. When she called tonight I was questioned on how much I have lost on my liquid diet and how much my husband has lost on his. I was then presented with a comment...the comment of all comments, I bet after losing all that weight it makes you not want to have the surgery and keep losing it this way. Uhhhh nope. I still want it. I am blessed that I can do it. I am excited about the long term effects. I am happy that I won't have to struggle as hard to get the weight down, and excited that I can concentrate then on keeping it off. I'm sorry, but not all of us feel like continuing to struggle on a day to day basis on Weight Watchers, or other diets trying to lose and re-lose the same 10 pounds, never getting down past those 10 pounds. I am excited to have the opportunity to be given a "tool" that can change my life for the better. To allow me to loose the weight that I haven't been able to in the past two years of Weight Watchers. Thank you God for giving me this opportunity.
