Tuesday

I had my final appointment with the Dr before surgery. The one for my physical. My labs came back ok, my blood sugar was high, but I expected that. He said I should do great and released me for surgery. So I'm ready. These next two weeks are going to feel like FOREVER.... I can't believe it's so freaking cold... I hate the cold, I really wish I had moved somewhere where they didn't even know what snow was... I hate driving in it, and I hate getting out of bed in the morning and freezing... I hope everyone has a great day today, and a safe drive where ever they are going. Sherri I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers through out the day... Darrah, if you get on, ::Hugs:: Take care everyone!! Jessyca

Well winter is here wether we like it or not......lol. I hope everyone stays warm walking to and from your cars. Jessyca, the next 2 weeks will just fly by and before you know it your done and on your way to being a looser like the rest of us. So enjoy your final foods but don't enjoy them too much....lol. You will do just fine. Oh and it was so great sitting and talking with you at the shower. Darrah, I hope all is well with you and you are home safe. Sherri, I hope Jay receives good news this morning and the Cancer has not spread. You all will be in my thoughts today. For everone else you all are always in my thoughts too I just didn't want you to feel left out...lol Take care and try not to work too hard today. I am counting down the days until the Superbowl woo hoo!!!! Oh on a good note I have 10lbs to loose for my 100 lbs lost I am so excited. WOW 6 7 mos ago I would have never thought I would be this far its all down hill now. Bonnie

Hi Jessyca, I too got my labs back and am cleared for surgery!! Woo Hoo. Congratulations to you! Now, we just have to figure out how to get a teleconference set up in each hospital so we can visit while we are walking ;) Tania

Tania- I just noticed your surgery is the same a jessyca's. I'll be in Indy the 15 & 16 while my husband is in conference. I'm going to stop and meet Jessyca since I'll be in the St. V area. If I can get directions to St. F (is that where you will be?) I'll try to stop to meet you also. I know after surgery you won't be at your best but I'll have a captive audience and we can take a walk around the loop. The next two weeks will fly by for you two. This surgery has made such a difference in my life it make me so excited for others starting on the journey. I'm also looking forward to the superbowl this weekend. I don't care who wins. We are getting together with friends and it will be a blast.

I'm in my final 2 weeks before surgery as well. (2/12!) I just had my pre-op class yesterday and I also can't wait for that magic day to arrive. Enjoy any foods that you have between now and then, but please remember...any loss between now and then increase your chances of having a good surgery! I am using this 2 weeks to step into the behavior modification so that it won't be such a shock afterwords. I am a creature of habit so I am trying to imprint the good behaviors now. It's hard, but I am going to try to drop 5 - 15 pounds before surgery. As to the cold...when you're right, you're right! It's cold!!!!!!!! Good luck with your WLS and all that follows.
