Day before surgery

Jul 15, 2009

Ok so today I had to be on clear liquids and for most of the day I was ok. But by dinner time I was hungry and craving everything in sight. I have managed to make it through the day and only have two more hours of drinking water before I have to withhold all fluids for surgery tomorrow at 12:30. I am excited it almost doesn't seem like this is going to really happen, I have waited so long for this. The reality that I will get thinner and not just maybe one day is so exciting. 

I have had surgeries in the past and know that I will be ok with this one. But this is the first surgery as a mother. Part of me is a little scared going into this because I worry about what will happen to my girls and if they would know how much I loved them since they are so young ( 3 and 1 years old). I will continue to pray through the night and and all day tomorrow.

I am also concerned how much pain I will be in and how my recovery may be different than other since I am having the lap band and the gall bladder removed.

One last concern is that I am on my period and have not lost a much as weight as I wanted.  I hope my surgeon does not turn me away tomorrow.

I will pray over my surgery and all of my concerns. And post back tomorrow!
