  Here I am, on clear liquids, waiting for my magnesium citrate to start working.  I am not like others who have this high excitement level about their surgery, nor am I dreading it.  This is my second time going thru this process, the first one not making it to surgery since one of my daughters became very sick.  I am glad I did not have the surgery back in '07.  I was not ready.  I am thankful that I did more research this time, found the surgeon that I did, and had to do all the work that I have been doing since last July.  I still wonder what it is going to be like, because, it seems I have all this knowledge now but I am not going to truly understand it all until I am on the other side of the surgery.  So, right at this moment, come what may, I am at peace with my decision to have WLS.  I am at peace with who my surgeon is.  I am at peace with the changes I am going to have to make when I come out of surgery.  How will I feel a week from now, I do not know, but right now, at this moment, I am at peace.

What a lovely post... I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and congratulations on making it to this point.  No matter how you feel post-op, just know it gets better in time.  It took me a few weeks to get back to my semi-normal self!  :D  Best wishes!

Thank you for your words of encouragement!  I have been checking out your blog, also!  I will get on as soon as I am able to let everyone know how it went.

Sorry I didn't see this last night - but this morning you are certainly in my thoughts.  I hope this goes well for you - and I'm certain you'll have lots of feelings, but be prepared - life gets pretty great!

All the best.
