I work out of my house but every day I go to my bosses house and do shipping.  I know I won't be able to do that for a little while so today was my last day before my surgery.  I think I am gonna jump out of my skin if Monday morning don't hurry up and get here. 
I am doing my horrible measurements tonight.  I am trying not to let myself get upset by them cause I know they will start changing soon.  SO I am gonna embrace myself for the last few days and enjoy all my moments before I take the exit off of the heavy highway and begin my new HEALTHY Journey,  I am counting the moments.
2 days and a wake up

Well time is going by much much more faster than I ever imagined it would.  I feel like I am running out of time and i have alot of things i need to finish.  I have to get the liquid protein I am going to need on the first phase  i have all of the grocery shopping down for my family  I have a few things to finish in the house before all the family starts coming in.  What fun is that  but I should not complain I have a wonderful support network  
I am so very very excited  I am going to try to get everything done that way this weekend I can enjoy and relax 

Here to counting down the days

Well yesterday was my pre-op and everything went very smoothly.  I am glad that is over, I was more worried about the Uppoer GI but it was not as bad as I thought it would be.  I saw the Dr. after the hospital visit and he had received all of my tests and he said everything is fine so he will see me on monday after surgery.  
I have all my after surgery items that I am gonna need  I now just have time to wait and hopefully relax 
5 days and a wake up  I cannot wait

OH MY GOODNESS  if the 25th of June don't hurry up and get here I think my family is gonna go crazy.  I know they are soooooo tired of hearing about the profiles I see on this site and I know they are tired of hearing about every aspect of the surgery and what is going to happen afterwards.  I try not to talk about it to very much but I it is all I can think about.  I just want the 25th to get here already!!!!!!!!  I have been getting alot done this weekend trying to get everything in order so it will be easier for my family.  Next weekend I think I am gonna spend that time to make things I can freeze for them so all they will have to do is take it out and cook it while I am in the hospital.  I know I baby them way to much but my mom is gonna be here and I don't want her to have to do much.  
Cannot think of much else to say

Counting down the days...susan

Well  I finally got to meet Katie she has helped me so much through this journey and I got to meet with Dr. Hargroder and he answered all my questions completely and honestly and I feel so much more at ease about this whole journey than I did before yesterday.  So now it is just a waiting game until the 18th when I go for my preop.  It seems like time is going to go really slow but I am getting completely excited and it is starting to tell in my sleep pattern  waking up more.  But heck when you are sleeping in a recliner cause it hurts so much to get out of bed in the morning  oh the little things I cannot wait for and that is to sleep in my bed once again.

Till next time

Well I am down to 19 days  I saw my pcp yesterday and get some intial blood work done and all went well he said I will be fine and he will see me after all is done.  The one thing I was happy to see is I have not gained any more weight  I am still 289 for a few weeks longer then I will be on my way down
I meet with Dr. Hargroder tomorrow to have a meeting with him to go over everything  I am trying to write down all the questions I have thought of.  
Here's to one day closer to getting my life back

Well it has finally sit in.  I am still very excited but I am extremely anxious at this time.  What I have been dreaming about is now only 23 days away.  But in this process I realize I am losing my best friend Food  When I have any emotions at all I eat.  I had a very good friend tell me the other day  Don't greive over what you are losing  look forward to finding someone you lost along time ago and she is so right.  I lost myself and this is not about losing a friend it is about finding a long lost friend  MYSELF.   I know the changes that are going to have to be made and I am ready to make them.  I am looking forward to changes that are coming for me.  I feel like a butterfly with my cocoon starting to pop open and I am getting ready to break out and spread my wings.  I cannot wait......susan

Well yesterday I got my letter from the Insurance company after they reviewed my information.  I am approved.  I have been waiting to hear this for 2 yrs now.  NOt that it has taken that long it has just taken that long for me to get off of my butt and get this going.  
I talked to the Dr. Office today and got my pre-op dates and my surgery date.  I have been smiling all day long thinking my time is almost here and I can feel like a person again instead of one big pain.
