Three weeks left...

Jun 28, 2010

Three weeks from this morning I will be  getting my RNY! I have definitely noticed the emotional roller coaster of this journey prior to surgery. One minute I am excited about the whole thing ranging from possibly not being in pain anymore to people not starring at me when I walk in to a store. Then I start thinking what if I don't make it through the surgery or I have a complication or wake up to find out I am stuck being fat for the rest of my life because they couldn't do the surgery... There was a couple of days there that I contemplated backing out of the surgery but realized we all die and if I remain morbidly obese it will come all to soon anyway, right... Needless to say I am scared shit-less especially now that I only have 3 weeks left. Here I go again... I mean if these were my last three weeks here I better enjoy them huh and make them very memorable for my kids and hubby... I can't believe how psyched out I get!

OK enough of that...

The 4 week pre-op diet is going better than I expected. For the 1st two days I really thought my stomach was going to eat its self, I felt dizzy and sick it was terrible. The third day however it was a lot easier, I no longer felt dizzy and the monster in my stomach started to quiet down. The fourth day was no problem, it was a routine  now and I felt great. Since I started this diet on June 20th as of yesterday the 27th I lost 15.8 lbs but all together since Jan 3, I have lost 43.2 lbs. I am already noticing the loose skin but whatever I would rather have that than the fat weighing me down like an anchor instead I'll take the sails LOL! I told my friend Becky that I might end up like a sugar glider in the end! We got a good little giggle out of that.

Well I just got distracted and can't continue so you all have a great week.
