Up at 2am
Dec 11, 2011
Ok . . so I went to bed at 11 and I woke at 2am thinking about surgery. Anxious, excited, curious are all the emotions I feel. I went to the forum and read all the posts, re-read all my various emails, sent emails to Laureli and Dr. Cleysa asking questions and updated my excel spreadsheet so that it autocalculates my BMI. Right now . . . I am superobese. If I keep on track I will be in the next category down by surgery. (Morbidly obese) I calculated every number I need for the journey to "Normal". But I am still wound up. Need to sleep because I want to go to my first live support group tonight and need to have the energy to do that.

6 days to VSG

12/11/11 Ok . .. its Sunday. I have been on this liquid diet for 4 days today. It is boring and I am hungry but I am not miserable. I have been on the forum for information and support. Also for ideas about what to do this week and beyond. I realized today that I normally fill my medication organizer on Sundays. This week I will not have to fill beyond Friday! Saturday I will be sleeved! It is my understanding that I will not need most of my medication postoperatively. Yay!
Wendy told me that she is scared today. This is a good thing. At least she is dealing with it and not holding it in. This way we can support one another. I am scared too but excited. This is the beginning of changing my life.
I was told at work that I was mandated to take Dec 23rd to Jan 2nd off last week. I came home and talked with Wendy about what we should do. We research a trip to New Jersey to be with her Mom. The cost was prohibitive. So I got to thinking . . .I have postponed my surgery twice for work. . . now is the time.
I called my doctor's office and asked if I could get it done. Eventually we settled on December 17, 2011 for my surgery.
