Well today is THE day. At 1230, I will be heading to the OR. Going through many mixed emotions right now. Excited, nervous, happy, hopeful. The one thing that I'm not feeling is hesitation, don't know if that's good or bad. I know that I'm making the right decision for my health and life. I just pray for God's protection and guidance during the surgery and recovery period.

Looking forward to my "new" life....

I am on day 2 of my preop Optifast (12 more to go). Yesterday was hard. The smells from everyone's Christmas leftovers was TOUGH! I know that I was ill to everyone around me, gonna have to apologize to them for that. Going from 2000+ calories/day to 800/day sends your body through some changes. I am determined to be successful in spite of the temptation!!!!!! I'm learning how to find things to do besides sit in the lounge or walk back and forth to the kitchen. I will be a new me inside and out :) My family and friends are being really supportive.

**13 more days til surgery**

So it's safe to say that I'm getting a little nervous. My surgery date is January 9, 2013 (band removal, RNY). I'm excited about this new opportunity; however, I am worried! I was unsuccessful with my past WLS. Will this be different? I am praying and convicted that YES this will be different. I will be a healthier me!!!!! I will be busy over the next few weeks with Christmas and preoperative appointments so I'm hoping the time will fly by :)
