Surgery Date!! Finally!

Mar 08, 2010

Got the call today...wahoo!!! April 7th it is!!! And, as I suspected, other people's dates are not related to mine. I go for my pre-op appointments on March 24, about 15 days away and start my two week pre-op liquid diet then. Gosh, it's finally starting to feel real. I ate a slice of pizza today at the airport (while flying home from a visit to my parents in San Diego) and was thinking "this is probably my last piece of pizza I'll eat for a loooooong while." I surely don't want to run all over town eating things that I will not get to eat, but wow, the temptation is there.

Gotta try to find the low carb SlimFast as that's what I'm told is what you drink as a staple for the liquid diet. Heard Wally World has it, so I will pop in there and grab some. Any suggestions on good flavors would be welcome...or any other advice anyone has who might be reading this. Yay!!!! I'm so relieved right now, and overwhelmed a bit too for some reason. Perhaps it's because as I sat on the airplane today and buckled myself in, I thought that perhaps this is the last time I'll fly when the seat belt is in it's longest setting and I won't have to worry about sitting next to someone and have them think "oh damn, I'm stuck sitting next to this chubby chick." I think the changes about to take place will start to creep in to my consciousness and help me to realize all that being heavy has entailed and will finally be over. I can't even begin to get my head around it. I'll have to ponder all of this......I'm sure I will have more to write about as the days pass before surgery. It's mind and heart boggling!
