Two more weeks!!

Actually only 12 days left until surgery day!! I can't believe it is finally getting here! Back in the summer when I was first approved, I felt so relieved I had finally jumped through all the hoops had all thoses Insurance stipulations behind me. Then school started back and I was just busy living. Now its getting close to Thanksgiving break and all of the sudden I am realizing I must prepare the house, family, lesson plans, students, paperwork and all those things I haven't even thought about yet. I am sooooo excited to think I may one day be "normal". I have even started looking at clothes and other things with the anticipation that I may be able to wear soon. Wondering if my feet will hurt less and I will be able to hike and do the things I used to like to do. I am wondering how my husband will respond to my weight loss. My children have never seen me weigh less than 250. Will they see me differently?
Family is still coming for Thanksgiving. This will be just 10 days after surgery. I have already told everyone to bring a dish and hubby is cooking the meat. How will I handle that? Will I be up to it?
I will go back to work the Monday after Thanksgiving. Will I be ready for that?
I am not doubting my decision AT ALL. I just am excited and want to be prepared.
Thanks for letting me rattle.

You will be fine. Because you will not be hungry!!! Actually you won't even want to look at it. I am 12 weeks out and still have to make myself eat on certain days.
You will look totally different to your children, but it won't be as shocking because they will see you everyday. It's when people don't see you everyday that they seem shocked.
My husband and I went out this past Sat. night and ran into my sister-in-law. I pointed at her from across the bar and she acted like "Who Me?" She was looking at me like" I don't know you lady."
I yelled "You better know me I am your sister!!" She didn't recognize me. Now let's you know how different you look. 
Yes your feet will feel better, your knees stopping hurting and etc. I am excited to be able to just hang with the kids. 
I am not going to lie to you I still vomit alot. Especially when I eat to fast, eat to much or just eat something that I can't tolerate. But you get use to this too. 

That is so exciting!  Not very long at all.  I think it will be a great time to have the surgery.

I have the same questions, too.  My kids are toddlers, so I hope that I can be healthy for them.

Good luck getting everything ready! 

You and I are just about in the same boat.  My surgery is on the Monday of Thanksgiving week and I will have 14-18 people at my house on Thanksgiving day!  I plan to sit in the recliner and watch or stay in the bedroom.  My mom, sisters and sister-n-law will take care of everything, but I still wonder if the whole thing is going to stress me out.  I am going to try to go back to work on the next Monday...but will have lesson plans on the desk...just in case.  Please keep me posted on how you are doing after surgery.  We should be great support for each other as we will be going through the same stages at the same times.

My prayers will be with you!
