The surgery actually was not until 6pm, but all went well! Dr. Barker did not find a lot of damages from past surgeries as he expected, so he moved right along and did a great job! I still can't believe I had this surgery!! The pain is nothing! I feel fantastic and I am on my way to a healthier, happier life! I was able to get up by myself right after they brought me back to my room from recovery! Amazing! The nurses were also amazed! The incision areas are a little sore, but I was not in pain at all. The pain shots only made me sleepy, but the stomach area remained sore. I was happy to be able to come home so soon.
Today is the day!!

This day has finally come! After almost of year into this wait, this is it!! No turning back now!! Today at 3:00pm, I will have my RNY! I am excited to be where I am and plus have lost 10 lbs over the past week on the liquid diet! I am looking forward to greater things and improved health! Getting off of my insulin is my biggest joy! This past week, I was able to drop almost all of it due to very little carbs. I know from here on out, it will only get better!! See you on the loser's bench soon!
Tomorrow is the day!

Well, I got my nails and pedicure done today! I went to the grocery store and restocked up on broths, creamed soup, liquid yogurts and SF popsicles!! Oh boy! I have done all the wash and the house is in order for my down time. Hubby can manage the rest while I recover. I am about to pack my bag and have it ready. I still need to find out exactly what time my surgery is because it was postponed to the afternoon. I think around 2:30pm. I also need to find out what time I am expected to be there. See you on the loser's bench soon!
2 more days!!

I am trying to stay busy and clean house! I don't think about it as much being so close! I am a little nervous, but I know everything will be fine and I am in the hands of two fantastic doctors! Praise God!
This is my 6th day on all liquids!! I am doing great with too! Even lost some weight! WooHoo!

Today, I checked into the hospital to have a test ran on my heart. I had a vision problem earlier this week and my Cardio Dr. wanted to check for a blood clot. Nope, nothing! So, they put me to sleep and got that over with and then woke me up and sent me home. Doing great! My surgery has been postponed to the afternoon now. So, I am probably looking at 2:30-3:00pm for surgery! Great!! All day...thinking of not being able to drink anything. I hate that!
5 days to go!
