Ducks in a row...

So, gearing up to 'THE CALL' to start my Opti...surgery date...and suddenly I have found this amazing energy!   Redid our household budget, cooked up plenty of healthy meals for the freezer, got our wills done (finally!), worked hard & paid down debt, got all of the home organization done that I have had on the 'must do' list for a year!   Also, having some serious worries about conflict with my spouse, who was quite happy with just sitting on his butt and not having to deal with all of these new tasks that come with this new energy.  Absolutely amazing how this surgery is soo not just about a number

Wow, good for you.  I would love to do half of what you have accomplished.  Good luck with upcoming surgery.

I hear you about the husband. My husband said a couple of times that me getting healthy was killing him. Just think of the added energy you will have after you lose weight

I didn't have the forewarning on the OptiFast start date, but on the other hand, I'm only doing 16 days of it.  Nevertheless, I know what you mean about getting the ducks in a row.

I had reworked my will and powers of attorney this summer, my cupboards and refrigerator reflect the fine dining I'm having with OptiFast right now, and the little bits and pieces are getting organized for my suitcase.

I have my pre-operative assessment at the Civic tomorrow, so that's a separate preparation, i.e. updated medications list, etc.

In the next day or so, I will be doing the grocery shopping for my post-op needs -- small amounts of different things to nourish myself.

Enjoy!

Day 10 of OptiFast out of 16

One week today to surgery

So excited for you!  Yes, things came pretty quickly at the end for you!  Thanks for the feedback (MSG) re:  pre-op assessment.  I wish you much luck and speedy healing!!

Good for you!  You will feel so much better at surgery date knowing that you have prepared so well in advance.  I certainly did when I had my surgery in Ottawa in 2011.  I am sending prayers for a call to come soon for you.
