All systems are a "go"

Apr 10, 2010

I had my Pre-Op visit yesterday and everything went great. The readings on the EKG were good, which has been a great relief to me because my mothers side of the family has suffered some heart problems in the past. I am two days away from surgery and feeling all sorts of crazy things! Happy, excited, nervous, anxious.....I can't stop thinking about it all! I'm making sugar free lemonade today so that I can have my last glass or two. I won't be able to drink citrus juice for atleast 6 weeks post op, per the instructions at the hospital. Lemonade is my favorite drink so its a little dismaying but I understand completely.

I have lost a total of 11 pounds since my last visit to the doctor a little over 2 weeks ago. I feel GREAT about this. I'm going to work out today (in a few minutes actually) and hopefully I maintain that 11 pounds going into surgery on Monday.

I am SO excited and looking forward to posting back here when I am post-op. Have a great weekend, everybody!
