I had surgery...good. Recovery...not so good. Things didn't really go as planned and I must have been oblivious to the aftermath of surgery. I was in more pain than I expected but well within reason as it was explained to me. I wanted out of the hospital and I NEVER want to see a BiPAP maching again. I did not have sleep apnea but the anesthesia made things a bit wacky for a minute. I am home for the next couple weeks and trying hard to figure out what to do with myself. I am a bit tired of the liquid diet.It's not really bad...just ready to not have to focus each hour on drinking something. I am grateful for all the encourgaing messages and emails. I am trying not to think about the weight coming off but it has definitely been on my mind. I am reading a couple books which is filling my day but I guess I better enjoy it because February will be here before I know it and back to the old JOB

I made it through the liquid diet for the most part. It was most difficult in the evenings after work. I got a call from Durham regional and my surgery is scheduled for Monday at 12:15. I am a little nervous but EXTREMELY EXCITED. I just weighed and I am down the 10 lbs plus I was asked to lose. I am going to celebrate with a small decaf non fat coffee and pick up some water. I am not quite sure how to occupy my time the next couple days. Maybe I'll go walk...how odd? Anyways, off to start the day.

Actually I will sleep before waking to enjoy my chocolate glucose control Boost.  I am quite nervous because I made an effort this week to do the liquid diet for 2 meals and high protein dinner but I constantly seemed hungry. I am hoping to space meals better over the next 10 days in hopes of preventing the feeling of starving. I will definitely make it and I am excited about my upcoming date. I still have one more pysch visit which will include group. I am interested to get the surgery over with but concerned about the adjustments I will have tl make after surgery. I have had great stories and horror stories and I am remaining optimistic. Surgery is not far away and while I am nervous I am certainly excited.....Until next time
