 This time last week I had never craved tuna fish sandwiches so much in my life. My family tried their hardest not to eat around me but it was inevitable. I never thought I would grow to hate chicken broth so much. The day of surgery was so painful especially since I got an air bubble in my back from the gas. The night before I had gotten sick on the chicken broth possibly because of all the salt. However, the day after surgery I got sick again, lucky I didn't vomit, but I have stayed away from it since. I can't wait to have scrambled eggs tomorrow morning. The day after surgery was Christmas eve and as if being around food was hard enough, i had to hide from my family. I've noticed that by 9pm I start to get nauseous and dizzy. This is debilitating unfortunately. The following day went really well but again I was so miserable and sick of water, tea, jello, ect. Still I hadn't gotten on the scale until the following day. When I did I had lost 5lbs. It was so wonderful. I felt so much better by the 3rd day because my pain and stuff had lessened. As each day has passed it has gotten so much better. 

Yesterday I got on the scale and my total weight loss is 12lbs. Its very exciting. Tomorrow I go see the doctor for my post op! 

 So i'm getting extremely anxious. I came down with a cold and it makes me even more nervous that there is going to be a problem . My surgery is tomorrow morning at you won't believe but 5AM! I'm so excited so it would suck if he canceled it because of my cold. I'm feeling a bit crazy cause I'm excited and a little scared and nervous. I hope it all goes well. 

 As December is right around the corner, I feel more and more anxious about the surgery. Its not that I am afraid or nervous but its my lack of patience since there are still 23 days left to go. I know everything will go well and I am so excited for the change and the opportunity to change my life. I have a great support system with the exception of my dad and his fear that I won't change a bit, but I really can't wait. I probably should have my head in the game for school since finals are RIGHT around the corner and starting next week but I think I'm lacking a little motivation. But anyway, the countdown has truly begun and tomorrow I go for majority of my pre-op work. Should be FUN!
