Education and Preoperative Testing Complete!

Apr 12, 2014

My husband and I journeyed the 8 hour round trip to my surgeon this past week. I was given the opportunity to meet with my surgeon and meet others that are on this amazing journey. Having our parents watch our children while we were out of town, gave me the ability to focus all of my energy on the surgery. I had gained 12 pounds since my last appointment in January. I was so disappointed to see the numbers climb. My surgery date is April 28th at 730am. I have started on my preoperative liquid diet. It is brutal. I have found that Swanson's tortilla soup is filling, which helps, but I am sure it will still get old fast. I am more determined to make this a success than I can express.

I am tired of letting myself down. Everyday activities carry this unnecessary stress due to my weight and self esteem. I concern myself with what others think, how my clothes fit, where I will sit so and be comfortable,...the list goes on. As I take these life changing steps to change my future- I plan to cross those things off my list.
