2 days from surgery , getting nervous.

Ignore the last pic--it's no wheat flour cupcakes I made for my boxers birthday. She's my walking buddy and more than slightly spoiled!

I was cracking up, Karen...thinking, here she is looking so tiny and skinny and happy with her new healthy body, and then peanut butter cupcakes?! LOL! (I cannot believe you make Lily cupcakes - she is a happy girl for sure!)

LOL; love the doggy cupcakes and I'm sure Lily did, too.

I used to always bake for my dogs, never for myself. Then once I decided to make myself some muffins and the dogs were giving me dirty looks for eating what they thought were their treats, lol. So I had to share.

PS: you look great!

Thanks--I feel amazing. I'd love to not have all the saggy skin but since plastics are not in my future,I'll live with it. I love being able to do anything I want and instead of slowing others down I now have to slow down for them. So worth it!

Hi Laurel,

Good luck on your upcoming surgery! You'll probably feel so much better once those hernias are repaired.

I did get sick before surgery; had a bad cough, but they went ahead anyway as my lungs were clear and I had no infection. Maybe you are coming down with something, but it could be you're just feeling that way because your body is detoxing from the liquid diet. Like the others have said, it will pass, and you'll soon feel much better.

Good luck Laurel!

Please keep us posted on how you're doing!

:)

Good luck Friday! That liquid diet is a killer. Just get past these next couple weeks and you will be fine.

P.S. I was kinda sick for almost the whole 2 weeks before surgery and was not 100% the day of. No fever and lungs were clear so under I went.

I had a revision from the band and have not looked back! Happy thoughts and prayers coming your way! Keep us updated!

I hope you are feeling less anxious now. Maybe find some sort of hobby to occupy your mind between now and surgery-to help pass the time. Best of luck.

Thanks again for all the support. I've been trying to get some things done this week before surgery and it's just been hard with no energy. I've been heavy but had ample energy until this last few days. I finished painting my room after removing wall paper today.. Big project but it's done. But, I'm beat.

I am really starting to feel like I want to eat anything. I thought that was supposed to go away after the first few days. With me its been reverse. I was good the first few days but ran day since I feel hungry.

I'm going to pamper myself tomorrow, time at the pool and a mani pedi... Wanna look good. Lol
