Aug. 12, 2010Tue. starts my 2 week pre-op diet. This last WEEK has been my last supper. Makes me anxious about how I'll do when I have the actual surgery on the 31st. I already drink lots of water; gave up pop several years ago; BUT, eat too fast, too much, don't chew enough, and like to drink water with my meals...and use straws.
I'm ready though. I look forward to so many things that "normal" people take for granted. Bending over and still being able to breath. Tying my shoes with the bows on the top rather than on the side! Some things seem silly, some so important. Health, mobilty, happiness, being "me " again. Being able to fit into things (chairs, cars, airplane seats, clothes). Play with my grandchildren. I hope and pray that losing weight will help my MS symptoms. That my balance will get a bit better with not so much weight to carry around.
I've got my protein, tomorrow I order my vitamins. I've got support and good info from OH plus my good friend and neighbor is having WLS 8 days before I have mine. I've found 3 others(so far) from OH who live within 15 miles of me...threy will be support also. Lonnie (friend) and I plan on going to our local support group. I hope I have my bases covered.
And most importantly: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul... My "soul" though weight loss, my God and Saviour, will restore.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
