I cannot believe three weeks have gone by already. For the most part I am feeling so much better than I thought I would. I am having some trouble getting used to the protein foods and have thrown up a lot, but it's getting a little better. Oh yeah, and I hate vitamins. Oh well, it's all worth it. I go back to work tomorrow and I am so excited. I am about to go get ready now to get some new clothes for work too since I have dropped so much weight so far. I can't wait to get back into my normal routine.

OMG, I cant believe after all I went through it finally came. I had my surgery last Monday and it seems so surreal. I went 9 days on water, caffeine free herbal tea, broth, and jello and I never thought it was possible. The crazy thing is I was never really hingry. I had my first real meal today and it consister of some cottage cheese and a hard boiled egg. It was great. I had some fish for dinner and I thought I was in heaven. I have to drink water, but I can safely say I will never have broth, jello, or tea again if I dont have to. SO far I've lost 22 pounds and it feels great to see results. My healing was set back a little with a wound infection, but it was taken care of today and I feel better. I can't wait to finally go home tomorrow. I can't tell you how excited I am to start this new chapter in my life.

I haven't written in a while, so I figured I might as well. My surgery is coming up in less than two weeks and I don't feel as nervous as I thought I would. I was so nervous about my preop appointment, but it turned out so well. It calmed a lot of my fears and answered all my questions. It will be so hard for me to take a while off work, but I need a vacation, even if I am a little miserable. I am really looking forward to this new stage in my life. I have been doing really well with my exercising and behavior modificatons. I know this is gonna be hard, but i think I will do well, and it will all be worth it. I just can't wait to be healthy.

Now that my surgery date is getting closer, I am starting to get a little nervous. I worry about the surgery itself of course, but there is so much more than that. I am trying my hardest to practice better eating habits, but each time I start doing well something happens in my life and I seem to backslide a little bit. I want so much for the surgery to work and for me to be safe and healthy. I'm so glad to have started working with a great therapist. She has helped me so much so far and I look forward to progressing even more. As much as I have been doing with changing my eating habits, I need to do even more with getting active. I keep saying I need to start working out, but I haven't actually done it yet. Hopefully soon though.

OMG...I can't believe it's really going to happen. It seems like I have been in the process for forever. I submitted all my paperwork last Thursday and was told on Friday I was approved. I was so happy I cried. I am so nervous, but so excited to start this new chapter in my life. It seems like July is so far but I know it will be here in no time. I really feel like this will be the catalyst to the change I need to make in my life. I am a smart woman with a lot going for me, but I just haven't been able to get my weight under control.
