December 3 is the day!!!!
It has been a long time working up to this day, and I am starting to feel some relief that it is actually almost here. I really need to feel better and I can actually say that in a month I will weigh less than I do right now. I will be on my way to healing and better health. I am so deeply thankful that I have made it through all this "presurgery" stuff....it has been one long, hard journey. But pretty soon it will all be worth it, and I will grow into the person I already am but cannot yet see! I wish you all the greatest of smooth recoveries, because having made it this far, I am sure you well derserve it. ~Barb
Hi Chris- I am having the RNY procedure. I, too have to be on a 2 week liquid diet starting tomorrow. I will be drinking various protein drinks, cream soups, sf puddings, sf yogurts...that kind of thing. Then 2 days of clear liquids before my surgery. What kind of procedure are you having?
I am sure that at some point I will geek out, but I just feel this sense of peace and contentment about the changes on the horizon. It occured to me a couple of days ago that I actually made this decision because I want to LIVE. It can be hard being obese for 30 years and feel like you want to live some days because you just feel so bad. It's like for the first time in my life I am going to be able to be in control of something that has always had control over me!
Anywho, I have some family that lives in Chula Vista...what a small world. They love it there. I look forward to hearing back from you! It won't be long now!!!!! ~Barb
you have a better diet than I do :D I have 3 protein drinks a day and a SMALL dinner .. . doing lean cuisine . . . for 2 weeks. I have the lapband - that's why I say I'm a bandit :D I 'm to the point where my back and knees and hips are shot . . .and can't imagine what I would be like in another year if I didn't do something now finally! Good luck!
