Almost there

Well, I am getting nervous and excited as I know count down the hours until my surgery tomorrow morning. I am getting everything ready today since after my surgery I am heading to my parent's place for a 2 week recovery period. I am packing 2 bags one for the hospital and one to go up with my parents. I just took the Magnesium Citrate and it wasn't as bad as I expected, but it wasn't good either. So now I am keeping myself home for the rest of the day/night and hope I can keep myself occupied so I don't sit here worrying myself silly. Yesterday my 4 year old nephew asked if he could be in OR when I have my surgery. I had to tell him no, but I did download a lap RNY from ORLive to show him when I see him next since he is absolutely fascinated by my surgery. He asks each time I talk to him if I have had my surgery yet. I think it will be interesting to see his response to my weightloss. My sister is a health coach and has instilled in her children the importance of eating healthy food so my nephew is quite concerned that I am fat. He still hasn't quite gotten to the point of understanding it all as he still asks me "why did you eat so many bad foods" my sister is trying to explain that some people don't realize they are doing it until it is too late. My sister thankfully is trying to teach him healthy vs. unhealthy rather than skinny/fat. Well, this post got kind of long, so I think I will stop and find something to keep me distracted.

Enjoyed the story about your nephew. Best of luck on your surgury tomorrow. Maybe go see a movie, that should distract you. Oh it would be so hard to sit at home and wait for the time to pass.

Your nephew sounds like a good fella to have in your corner as cheerleader. He's a supporter already! Good luck and God bless! You soon join the losers! I'll be thinking of you and praying for you! ((HUG)) **SUE**
