Surgery Tomorrow!!!

I was scheduled for yesterday and got bumped to tomorrow morning....but I can't believe it is here! This has been such a quick journey, I only first considered WLS in December! I am at peace with my decision and am only dealing with the worries of my DH and DD.

The liquid 2.5 weeks went great, better than I was expecting! Only once did I have a few bites of well-chewed egg salad. Then I was scared straight by a friend and have been on only liquids since then. I'm down 9 pounds and feel great already. I'm not sure if it is the decreased calories, high protein or the combination of the two, but my blood pressure is down 10 points on both ends and my hip is feeling better already.  If this is a sign of things to come I am soooo excited!

I have basically no appetite and have only been getting in about 600 calories a day, but at least 70g of protein.  While that is great (I think) I have also learned the lesson of having and USING the Miralax .  Sorry for the graphic....I thought that was too cute to pass up!!

Thanks for all the encouragement, all of you have put me at ease during this journey.  If all goes well, I will log on Thursday (MD only keeps us overnight).

It will go smoothly! Good Luck!
