Surgery on Tuesday...

Oct 01, 2010

Well surgery is on Tuesday and let me tell ya, last week I sure wondered if I was doing the right thing. I went and talked to my brother who is going to school to be a minister and told him about the surgery and asked for his prayers. That made me feel better but the day after I did that, I woke up and just felt peace. No more racing thoughts about the risks, I still think about it but not in a panic like before. Now I know that this is what I need to do. It's just like before I started my liquid diet. I never doubted that this is what I wanted until last week for about two days.

I have all my stuff at school worked out. Some of my instructors we not very pleased to here me say on the first day of the term "Hi nice to meet you but I wont be here for two weeks" But hey, it's not about them, it's about me and what I need to do for MYSELF!

My husband has always said he supports me. Especially the last 11 months while going through this process he has been very supportive. He told me he supports whatever decision i make. Then last week he told me all that about the support and then said, "You know I would never be upset if you decided not o do the surgery right?" Well duh, I'm doing it for me not for him but it was a little weird because he knows that. But then he came home yesterday and was very upset and sad. I asked what was wrong and he just hugged me and said, "I'm worried about you." He almost cried as he told me how badly he didn't want me to do the surgery because the risk of losing me wasn't worth the benefit. He said he couldn't live without me. I'm glad he loves me but I have to do this for me and I need his support. He told me he still supports the decision I make but that he had to tell me how he felt. I told him that it was a good thing to talk about his feelings and fears.

Anyway, I haven't updated in a few days so there it is. The liquid diet is going good. I've lost 10 pounds in the last 9 day. I would say it is successful!!!
