Today is surgery day!

May 13, 2010

It's here!  Finally!  I report to the hospital at 9am TODAY!

I'm a little nervous and don't feel really well.  I think the last 2 1/2 weeks of liquid protien and then the last 2 days of clear liquid has taken its toll on me - but that's what I was supposed to do.  I've done everything I could to make this work.  Now we move forward from the waiting to the doing! 

My Facebook post today was "today is the day when what you want and what you need walk hand in hand" and I think its a mantra I'll keep in my mind the next few days.  No matter what I go through the next few days (and weeks and months) while I'm recovering, I have to remember that not only do I want this, I need it!  I've gained about 10lbs a year since I can remember and and at that rate, I'd hit 400lbs by the time I was 41 yrs old....how long can you live at that weight?

So I'm done!  I'll never be this heavy again!  Never!  Even if I don't reach a "perfect" weight or a "perfect" BMI, I'll never see 330 on the scale again!

Thanks to all my friends and family for their support!
