well last night was my sleep study and it went better than I expected and I got more sleep than I thought I would.  So I am pleased ! Also did my pre op at the hospital today and that is all done. Picked up optifast to start on Tuesday ! I am so exicted for that to start ! Not !

Well attending the over night sleep study at the appleton (I think) clinic in Toronto tonight! sleeping in a hospital bed goodked up to who knows what, should be a great sleep!

Wow we have to see alot of doctor's and professionals during this journey.....It seems like every other day I am heading down hwy 400 to see one or another.....although I am getting some christmas shopping down while I am in the city....22 days until surgery and I have to make sure alot of stuff is done by then.....house done, christmas ready, supplies for after surgery ready.....and 100 more things of course.

You know I have been changing my life (eating life) for a couple of years now.  Long before WLS was suggested to me, Long before I started this part of my journey.  Little by little for my family probably more than myself especially my daughter, I certainly don't want her to think its OK to grow up fat and unhealthy, a mirror image of me.  She is young and beautiful, I want her to stay that way so my journey is to be a positive roll model for her...nothing more...nothing less.....

I started with changing from white to wheat, canned to fresh, chocolate to white, processed to non processed....you get the picture...

Healthier, I hope so, thinner "NO", tests tests and more test, the verdict after years of abusing my body my metabolism basically does not exist anymore, the store I am sure I share with many of you.....so here I am schedule to have RNY on Dec 14th.....fortunate yes, scared no, optimistic YES ! I lookfoward to every minute the the future holds for me.

That being said, I though that during these days before my optifast I thought I would be indulging on all my favorite things saying good bye and to a certain extent I guess I am but in small nibbles here and there.....I have lost 2 lbs since I saw DR. Starr on Dec 5th....tonight my husband was headed to the store and I said bring me a treat please....and he did ice-cream...my favorite...I was in the tub (soaker tub in the new bathroom my husband just built for us) reading, in lots of bubbles....he brought me the ice-cream he bought me and I unwrapped in and you know what....I did not enjoy one bite of it...ate less ten half and sat it on the edge of the tub to melt....my daughter came down and rescued it...but I was so glad that I didn't enjoy it and I didn't finish it.....I don't feel like most of the things I love any more....I am at peace with my journey....I am not looking forward to optifast but not dreading it either...but I am surely please that thee are some veggies allowed during those to weeks.

I feel ready, right where I should be...on a journey to a healthier life...not happier because I have a very happy life....but healthier...inside and out !

Went to the ryn class Nov 10, dietition Nov 12, Social Worker Nov 12, Waiting on Inturnist Appt.

Surgery Booked for Dec 14th!

Saw my sergeon today, turns out I am a good candidate for the roux-en-y surgery.  Since I have no issues to deal with, they may be able to fast track me, they have an opening in a month.  I guess we will see what happens next!
