On my way................finally!!!!!!!!!!

Jul 21, 2009

Well I have finally been accepted to get surgery done on 8/18/09.  I had my pre op on 7/13 and met my weight loss requirement(sigh of relieve I was stressin about it due to my procrastination).  I just need to at least maintain per the nurse practitioner but my surgeon would like me to not have any last meals and lose 10 more pounds.   Needless to say I had a pig out week.  My last meals of many.  I am back on my 1200 cal diet as of today.  I think I have gained 5 lbs back from my last week of binge eating.  I am so happy to have gotten to this point it is a huge  stress reliver for the most part anyway.  I am more excited than nervouse for the surgery.  I have heard so many scary stories and then the opposite from others so at this point I just have to take it as it comes.  All my mother keeps saying is I sure hope you don't gain all your weight back that is a lot to go through to let that happen.  Supportive family wouldn't you say.
My husband is getting nervous for me.  He has told me that I better not get too skinny since he likes me thick.  It is really hard to figure out how you will look in the end.  Some people look amazing like they never had a fat day in their lives and then others look like they have lost weight.  I am scared to see how much falls of.  I am hoping at least a 100lbs.  I would love to weight 180lbs.  I would be a very happy woman at that weight.
Anyway that is my update.  Got to pay attention to the foods I eat until 8/18.  Ohhh yea, One thing I was suprised is there in no prep for the surgery.  I thought there would be a per surgery diet.....like liquids for a week.........but my surgeon said no eating and drinking after midnight.  That is it.  That sounds wierd to me but I will not argue that if for sure.
Hope all is well with everyone else.
