So my sinus infection is better and it looks like my surgery is on go. It has been a long process but totally worth the wait to get myself in a better state of health for surgery. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous and actually I am in a strange calm but excited to be starting a new phase in my life and hopefully feeling much better and have less pain. I have to be at the hospital at 12:00 noon, so I know I am in for a long day!

My date of re-routing my internal plumbing will be July 7th, 2009. I am having all kinds of emotions right now, but mainly relief and excitement to start my new life! This really seemed to come together. My daughter starts nursing school on August 17th and this will give me time before I start keeping her 18mth old baby!

So, I have finally finished all my pre-op appointments and my visit with the surgeon is in 2 weeks! I didn't think it would ever get here but I really needed this time to get my head on straight and change some old habits.

I guess I am not much different from the rest of you about the ups and downs of yo-yo- dieting. I was raised on a farm in eastern NC. My trouble started early on when my grandmother moved beside us. I would eat dinner at mom's house and then go see grandma who always said "have you eaten yet". I never said no and she promptly fixed  "another dinner" unknowing to each of them that I was eating twice. Well it didn't take long before it became apparent and I could not fit into my clothes. One diet failure after another,sometimes I succeeded but always gained the pounds back and they brought more friends. I have now found myself in such bad health I am unable to work. I have a beautiful granddaughter and I want to be able to enjoy her. I am tired of being so tired, in so much pain and living life on the outside looking in. I want to take my life back. How could I let this happen. I hope with the grace of God and support from my OH friends, I can find the right path to a better, healthier me!!
