Hi everyone!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, March 9th. Only two days away! I am psyched! Seriously, I have never been so happy in my life! I wanted this for awhile (about 2 years, been considering it for three). I am so thankful my insurance has approved it without a problem. Too boot, I got the call from the hospital yesterday, and I have to be there for 11:30. (Surgery scheduled for early in the afternoon.) I'm so glad since the hospital is 45 minutes away. I was so sure I'd get stuck with like an 8 am surgery and need to leave the house at 5 am lol.

Tomorrow have to do the colon cleaning, but it doesn't seem that bad. Only sugar-free liquids. I had a last dinner out on Friday, with my family, however I didn't order anything huge. I  feel I've come to the point that I've eaten enough sweets and stuff for a life time, and it's just time to start eating healthy, getting healthy, and living life to the fullest!

Wooo Hooo! (seriously I am that happy, it's ridiculous! I've been grinning like an idiot every since I got the insurance approval letter).

Hey Bev!

Good luck to you too! I will say a prayer for you as well!  Isn't it exciting? I actually was writing in a journal this morning and had the revelation of how much time I have spent in my life just "thinking about" losing weight, or reading a new "diet" book. So much mental clutter!

I can't wait to start this new way of life. I know you can't either! More power to us!

Hey Surrender!

I gagged getting it down. I had to drink a lil watered down diet juice in between to pu**** down. Amazing from someone who had done shots of everclear in college! lol Just glad that part  is over.

Mom and I cleaned the house out of any bad foods, and I have a small aresenal of protien stuff! lol Hope I'm gonna like it after.

Positive Thought: I can't wait to buy a bathingsuit this year! First time ever! Usually the only thing worse then buying a bathing suit, is buying a gown/dress for my sorority formals! I won't make it to this years (too close to surgery), but i can't wait to buy both!
