Update on pre-op post

Well I'm happy to announce everything is in rocking and steam rolling towards surgery next week. Insurance is taken care of and one final appt tomorrow. So excited, I'm so glad everything is working out!

I'm so excited for you!  My surgery is scheduled for 12/16, and my last (I think) pre-op appointment is tomorrow.  Half of the time I'm excited and half of the time I'm afraid that something will happen and I won't get the surgery.  Eeeek!

I know the feeling. Really I do. However, we were strong enough to decide to get surgery to change our lives and we are strong enough to handle anything the devil (if your religous or the universe if your not) throws out way. I will be praying for a safe surgery and an uneventful recovery!

Yes, my husband was just reminding me of that very thing today. Even with some of the temporary problems and side effects that some have had, losing  the weight will make me 100x healthier than  I am today.  I should only be worrying about the things I can control and leave everything else in God's hands.

What an incredible year 2014 will be for us!

Yes, yes, such an exciting time... Im so happy for you... Only good things to look forward to.... It can only get better and better, as you loose and start feeling good.... Your going to do GREAT!

I kind of feel nuts for voluntarily signing up to torture my body so I have to keep reminding myself that it is for the greater good. Lol However, I do look forward to the new me!

It truly is the best thing that you will do for yourself in this lifetime. I think the part I enjoy the most, "besides loosing weight" is that now when I eat I just feel normal. I still can have "head hunger", but now the difference is that if I choose to act on it, I just have a bite or two, and then its all over, I just don't want anymore. I feel gagy. I love it.... To be satisfied with just a couple of bites is such a great feeling. Mind you, Im only six months out, and I know that feeling can possibly go away, but I pray it doesn't....lol P.S. Your not nuts, your a smart girl that's taking charge of herself, and doing whatever it takes to get it done. Be proud of yourself.... Its a bold, gutsy move, that some are to afraid to take... GoodLuck!
