Avoided the scale, for the most part during OPTI, stomach was a rumbling tonight, weighed in, and I'm down 12 lbs... I'll take it. I for some reason, assumed I'd lose 20+ lbs on OPTI. I always dream big!

ANYWAY! by this time tomorrow, I'll be on my way out the door to head to TWH for surgery. HOLY FACK!

Miss my dog already. It will be worth it, when I'm physically able to take her on speedier much lengthier walks, and hopefully one day, maybe even run with her. Although, she's a basset hound, so might be aiming too high there. With the running thing.

I still keep thinking, what if I show up and they cancel it because of something' or what if they open me up and find something terribly wrong with me. I guess it's normal to think these things? Maybe..it's just that it's here. It's happening. It's real. IM ****TING BRICKS!

And seriously counting down the days until I can enjoy anything other than OPTI, broth, tea. The thought of being able to enjoy OATMEAL soon almost makes me cry happy tears.

you are at the "funnest" part of this journey, like the spring of the year. All your hard work and preparation will pay off, relax and let the pros take care of you.

Your little hound will have to wait a bit for mommy to get back to the walkies but look out pooch and prepare for superwalker!

Get good rest today and tonight, you will be on the bench pushing the fluids before you know it.

LOL about the Basset Hound. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Things will be fine. Our brains just seem to have a habit of coming unleashed and freaking us out. The end of a journey is upon you and the beginning of something totally new awaits. I can't wait till it's my day before and I'm freaking out about all the crazy **** that will pop into my head.

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!! Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow night!
