I am home and doing well.

All those posts I would read and scratch my head over...I know understand MUCH better. I keep telling myself it will get better and 2 weeks is not forever. My biggest thing is relearning how much I can eat. It always seems like I have eaten too much. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Enough whining.
Hello world...I'm 2 days old today!!!

Tomorrow is the day

I have surgery tomorrow at 3:45 at Trinity Hospital.
I am going to consider Feb 4th my re-birthday. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/cake.gif)
I am still not nervous. I had a few, short episodes of nerves but I am more excited then anything. I have been mourning the future loss of bread's and a few other foods. After all, they helped make me what I am today.
I found the first email that I sent about maybe having this surgery. It was dated 9/11/08. It has taken me 4 1/2 months from conception of the idea to surgery date. It does not seem that long looking backwards but O'BOY did it seem like forever looking forward.

This is scarry but I checked with the new company and it is covered and seems easier to be qualified. Who knows, maybe it is a blessing. I could use some good news.
I had my nutrition and psych consultations today and sched for the EGD on 12/10. Almost there.

HOW MUCH LONGER do I have?? (Nov 3 2008)

I am still doing my six month sup. diet and still have 4 appts to go. Nov is on the 14th. I am so sick of feeling sorry for myself. I know, only I can solve that problem. I have done Weight Watchers for the past 6-7 years and the program is imprinted on my DNA at this point.
That being said, I have done some damage lately (figuratively speaking). I am re-trying everything I can think of that I want and believe I may not be able to tolerate after surgery. Doughtnuts, cake, cheesecake, fries,...I know I should be dieting, 6 month thing and all, and I am, sort of. Until/Unless I get a co-morbidity I can only lose down about 14 pounds. If you think I am going to screw this up that way you are out of your
F_ _ _ ing mind. I have managed to lose 2 pounds (and gain it back) in the last 2 months. I have an appt for a sleep study on the 14th and if that comes back as I know it will then I will be able to relax and (wait a minute, this sounds totally backwards) lose some weight.
I have been miserable eating what I want. That is the honest truth. (OK, I might not pass the psych consult.) I have never been so bloated in all my life. I put MYSELF on clear liquids for the last 2 days because all the fat/sugar has really done a number on my stomach. I think I will just eat healthy again and see what happens.

I found the memorial page on this website and looked at them. It is very sad that people, myself included, have to make a choice which way they may die...from obesity or the surgery that could help them.
I gathered from the memorial I read that most of them would have done it again. The chance for hope of a better life was worth the risk. And so it is for me. I'll spin the wheel and see what fate gives me.
Not a really good subject for a first post, huh?
