 Well tomorrow is the day.  This is a journey that I began back in September, 2011 when it was first suggested.   I cannot believe the day is here.  I am terrified but at the same time kind of excited to see what happens on the other side.  

I'm terrified!  i want this surgery more than anything, and I'm not about to back out, but I'm still so scared!!!!!

So it's been almost a week since surgery, I had the VSG, I've been home for 4 days now and am struggling to do things the "right way." I am feeling weak because I am not able to get in the recommended amount of protein and I am no way near consuming all of the water I am supposed to be. Luckily for me I've been able to take it pretty easy, I attempted the grocery store yesterday with my 4 year old, I was sitting in the car not thinking I was going to make it but with a little encouragemnet from my son we made it inside and it went fairly well. I did however use my boyfriend as a crutch when I got home and let him carry all of the stuff inside, buy the time we got home I was exhausted. My incisions are healing nicely and it is getting less hard to sit up, not so much stabbing pain where they put a stitch in my stomach muscle. My only beef is that I think I want to eat just because I am so used to it, I have caught myself snacking on a few items that are not on my list and then quickly regretting it because of the awful feeling as they were going down and settling in my stomach. Ohhhhh, soooo much to learn! But the pounds lost already is a huge motivator. I just have to take time tonight to plan my meals for the rest of the week because I am returning to work tomorrow, not because I want to but because I have to.

Looking for friends in similar situations to help me along the way!
