well, i'v visited my surgeon the last time before my surgery. of course he told me about all the risks. i am so exited and kinda scared, but i know this is whats best for me.the nurse weighed me i about died!!! i have never been this heavy even at nine months preg.w/ my kids i didn't weigh this much. i guess this is what happens when u quit smoking. i have been smoke free for 6 months. yeh for me!!!! I'm trying to drink the CIB for 2 meals but i feel starved. I just cant wait to feel satisfied after eating very little. well i'll share more later......ok i just got back from the store. i'm trying to buy some different items that i'll have for after surgery.like sugar-free jello, in different flavors,pudding etc... i dont know if my surgery date is posted but it is on jan.30@ 7:30am. wow! thats coming up soon.friday i get my EGD done. if u don't know what that is, its the scope that goes down inside the throut to see inside the stomach.has any one had that done? i guess i will be out of it after its over with.well i'll share more later........well i have been out of it most of the day because i had that scope thing done. i actually felt them pulling the tube out of my throut. it didnt hurt at first but now my throut is kinda sore. the dr said he found a hiatial hernia. but said it would not prevent me from getting the surgery.thank god.he also said that the surgery would take care of that ,hopefully.well i will share more later......its sunday evening and everyone is watching the colts game. I'm getting restless as my surgery day gets closer. I'm trying to lose some of the weight before my surgery, but its hard to do. I havent drank any pop for about 11 days now ,I have been drinking water,crystal lite, and decaff coffee. my poor hubby is scared for me, I told him i would be fine, I'm a trooper!!! Im still yet to find calcium citrate chewables. no luck there. maybe i'll check out GNC. thats the only place i haven't looked. well it's back to work tomorrow. i'll work this week and then Tuesday is the BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!! ...I dont think I mentioned when I got my approval,it was Jan. 3rd i was jumping for joy, hugging my husband and my children. i was in tears. well i have 1 week as of tomorrow!!!!!! I just think about it so much,thats all i think about. whooooooohoooo!!! lol I found out there are no calcium citrate chewables just citracal chewables I guess that will have to do. I tried the protein supplement unjury, yucko! nasty stuff i hope there is something i can find that i like besides CIB. today is tuesday jan. 23rd that means i have 1 week from today until surgery. I am sooooo happy!... although I worry about me when i go under in the O.R. i guess this is normal? Iam watching american idol. that is like my favorite show this time of year. when i left for work this morning i forgot my protein shake darn it! but you better believe when i got home tonight i sure grabed it 1st thing and drank it. I hope i dont forget this stuff after my surgery i need this protein. I hope to share more tomorrow good night.... wed. jan. 24th I am having a kinda emotional day today. I think everything is coming up so fast for me I just wanna cry well i did cry earlier today, but my emotions are crazy right now. Im in the process of getting things together to take to the hospital tuesday. I also am very restless I cant sleep hardly at all. I know it haves to do with this surgery because thats all i think about.

I just talked to her yesterday she said she had been real sick a few days ago,but was doing better. she has battled her diabetes, had some amputations it has been a rough time for her and all i can say is im so glad i called here thursday and got to talk to her and tell about my surgery and that i love her, that makes me feel a little better, but still grieving, I was one of those grand-daughters who was very attached to my grandma as a child. I mean every where my grandma went i went. even to the bathroom, when i was a child. i;m really gonna miss her alot. so you know i'm gonna have her on my mind when i go in for my surgey tuesday. her funeral is monday only because me and the family had arranged it that way thank god they worked with us for monday and not have her funeral on tuesday. because the funeral director was gonna have it tuesday.shooo! well i have taken care of myself and still drinking my protein shakes. well i dont have much more i want to share today i will share more later good nite........................................today has been a better day sorta, I'm not as exited as i was a few days ago. but i'll come into it after the funeral is over. well i have alot of family that is here to support me. thank god, because i couldn't handle this on my own. tonite was the last night for me to have steak, baked potatoe and salad. well until i can eat solids again. well im really tired, i didnt get much sleep last nite. so i will share more later.........................................................today is the day i say good bye to my favorite person in the world, my grandma. and then tomorrow is the big day. i still cant believe this is all happening so fast! i woke up this morning and was froze, it is cold here in IN. i think it's about 8 degree here burrrrr.

I know it has only been a week but i am already sick of the liquid diet. it is the same stuff over and over. oh well. i just have to deal with it. because i know that its worth it. im gonna share more later bye bye................................................................wow its been awhile since i have posted today is April 4th and i just got home from work a little while ago. well I have been doing good, i am down 58lbs!!!!! awesome huh? the first 6 weeks was really hell. i am not kidding that was rough. but it is worth it. my clothes are now starting to fall off. everyone notices me now. about a month ago i caught the nasty stomach flu from work, that landed me in the ER. i was dehydrated. i dont want to ever feel like that ever again. my life has really changed, i dont ever feel hungry, i have to make myself eat. i can eat only 3 oz. of food. my aunt got her approval for surgery!!! so she is right behind me and soon to be a big loser too! she is so exited, and i am happy for her. i took her to the hospital yesterday for her EGD, also known as the scope procedure. everything was was ok. so she can have her surgery. and it is on April 24th@7:30 am same time i had mine and i will be exactly 3 months out that day. isn't that kool? i pray everything goes as good for her as it did for me. i thank god every day for this. god is great! i also have been a little emotional lately. dont know why. i just hope its gets better. i do have alot of support, i just dont let them know when i get depressed. life can be diffacult sometimes. well its almost easter! but its gonna be cold. i am so glad i'm off this weekend for easter. i will have my girls with me, and we are going to the inlaws and to my aunts house to have a easter egg hunt for the little ones. I wish my grandmother was here, she loves easter. she loved watching the little kids hunt and find eggs. she always made up a gold egg with money in it!!! I might just have to take her place on that one and put out a gold egg with money in it sounds like fun to me. well i am getting sleepy, so i am gonna stop writing for now..........................................................................
