One week to Go

Sep 06, 2010

Hard to believe, one week left before my surgery and a whole new life is about to begin! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I have been going through the whole grieving process as far as giving up certain foods go but actually, that part hasnt been too bad for me, not as bad as I thought it would be. Because after all, my new life is going to be so much healthier than my old life and I will have a much better relationship with food,. It is a cliche to be sure, but I truly will be eating to live instead of living to eat. Finally.

Had my pre op appointment with Dr. Melniczek last week and that was a great visit, he is so informative and reassuring and he really is good at putting my mind at ease about the whole process.

I had my "before" photos taken, even took some of the Doctor and staff and I think they were very surprised that I wanted to capture photos of them. I am an avid digital scrapbooker so I plan on scrapping my entire weight loss journey from begining, middle and end and will be glad for photos of them to add in there along with ones of myself.

The day before going on my pre op diet, hubby and I are going out to dinner with his family, that will be a lovely way for me to celebrate the goodbye to my old life, to be with some loved ones and I am sure they are going to have lots to ask me while we are there, which is fine and I am always more than happy to talk about it.

WOW though, ONE week. ONE!!!! Seems like just yesterday that I started my six months of doctor visits required by my insurance company. The summer especially flew right by. We had a blast with our nieces in the pool this summer, it is a wonderful feeling knowing that better health awaits me and I soon will be able to live with less pain and be more able to keep up with them.

I am sure I will be posting more thoughts this week.

Life is Good and is about to get even better.
