I am not physically hungry but I see food and start craving.. also noticed that I need to focus on getting my water in...I am 1 week out and feel ok. Really emotional though which I wasnt expecting. Crying for food. My husband it being so strong for my right now and I dont know what I would do without him.

I had my surgery on 8/2 and did very well. I had to spend the night at the hospital and was home by 3pm on Friday afternoon. The people at Baric Center were amazing and my experince was wonderful. I am on full liquids for the next 2 weeks and I go back to work on Thursday. I feel a little achy but am doing really good on Tylonal. I am down 8lbs since coming home and am able to walk 15 min on my treadmill. So really, so far so good. I am so grateful I was able to do this.

I will believe it more once I have the letter in my hand and a date actually scheduled, but I have an approval from Aetna! So, I feel like my life is about to change again! God is so good to me and its all to his glory!!

Aetna now has all my paper work, and it is under review. They said I should know something by the end of the week. I hope God blesses me with a yes!! I cant imagine wanting this anymore than I already do. I try to imagine what I will feel one way or the other. Joy at a yes, and sheer devisataion at a no. I just feel like this is the course of action for me and that this is the only way that my battle with food will end. I am not content to be fat the rest of my life.

I am still waiting and its still hard. I am trying to act as if I have already been approved and have begun to limit my caffiine, sugar and carbs. Of cousre, I had my nephews birthday party yesterday so all those good intentions went right out the window. But I refuse give up and will continue to try.

I have my phys evaluation this morning. I am nervous because so much hinges on how well this goes. Having never had one done I am not sure what to expect, and if it goes badly what happens then? I did sleep well due to nerves and I know thats not going to help me, but could help it.
