It has been 21 days since my surgery and I'm impressed/kinda impressed lol. I've lost 20lbs and am actually 6lbs away from being the same weight as my mother. For years we wore the same size and then I passed her. It was strange buying holiday and birthday gifts for someone who was smaller than me. 

Well im still sore at various times in the day on my right side. And well after thwoing up some eggs 2 hrs ago, it down right hurts. This was the first time there was some actual force behind it. (sorry if this sounds gross) So I guess my stomach and intestines where its attached it pretty angry at me so I'm just taking it easy today.  Maybe later I'll get into one of my Wii dancercize games cuz the gym is out and so is running up and down the stairs.

And the story is.... 276.4lbs. :-)) GREAT! Although, I misread the scale the first time and said 274, but my parents looked at me like I was fastly dying.

Woke up about 8 something and tried laying partly on my right side. Felt some pressure and like 'oh no'. But got up after dozing off about 90mins later and felt fine. :->

Met with Dr. Gersin yesterday for my last pre-op appt. I've had 2 interactins w/Gersin n both times I've been I guess lacking n his eyes. See Im lucky enuff to not have any health issues not/associated with being overweight and I've pretty much been looking into this surgery wit my family for the past yrs so I dont have questions or concerns and dont require anything special just for him to show up and do what it is he is supposed to do. I read the paperwork they provide, follow their guidelines and even pre-pay. That said, he always seem to leave looking dissappointed.

Anyways, I start my 2-wk diet Tuesday and am still trying to decide if I want to have a "food" day. I've accepted that the rest of my life will be different and my eating habits will have to change for good but a possibly childish part of me wants to have a few of my old favorites that I've given up the past couple of months.

Lastly, outside of my family and an x-boyfriend that I'v remained close to, no one in NY knows about the surgery. I'll be there in Aug, possibly even June and what do I say?

At first I was doing really good, looking at various sites and blogs about folks life post surgery but as I kept reading this all became really scary. Not to make the struggle of insurance approval seem little but I have used my life savings (I'm 24) on all of my pre-op costs. Every appt, procedure, mtg and discussion I've had basically with doctors has meant a bill 2 wks later. $8500 later I almost feel forced because theres no waiting to do this later because the money's been spent so I have little time for doubt.

I know and trust that my life will be better, healthier afterwards but I didn't expect the pre-op life to be so stressful.
