Well oh well, who knew a little thing like an egg could put your stomach into a battlefield is beyond me.  I should've known better!  I've never done so great with eggs in the first place..so, why would I torment myself with the little white, so innocent looking EVIL EGG..well, lesson be learned..I shan't be eating those little devils anytime soon...

I keep thinking I'm gonna be hungry, but nope,,not the case..I do miss kind of the social part of it..but, soon enough, (next week)..I should be stepping into the realm of normaldom..I've got all these fancy cookbooks from the library and of course the one that came with my magic bullet (which seems to be the best thus far) and I didn't cook before..maybe I will now..who knows..it's a whole new world out there.. 

Can't believe it..went to a little conference today..boy do I have TIME on my hands since I'm not eating..and I don't feel like my usual 'lay on the couch' all day at all..so, I go to this conference that's held at a Mariott and lunch is included..so I opt out since it was to last 1 1/2 hours and who needs that..so, I think I would like lentil soup and voila..a place right down the street has it..I get carrot/beet raw juice blended (mideastern place) and a BOWL of lentil soup..I am ordering like before..so, I can barely eat 1/2 and then took the rest home..I wonder if it'll always be like this..hope so..good night..

Well well well, waited waited waited and it came and went all without the fuss I thought it would be.  Thought I would be way more painful than I am..thank God..I was feeling fabulous in the hospital yesteray (first day post op) and went to my sister's to stay there and hit a bit of a snare..had some oozing out of my main incision (lap) site..was assured that it was ok by doc and RN, but still a snag..still a tad nervous about it, but they say it's fine..not doing so hot walking today..have to get better about that as no lovenox and worried about the DVT business..all in all not hungry and feel good!  My scale is wacked and cannot determine my weight..I'll figure it out..

OH me oh my..4 days, but who's counting..me and my protein grams..So, here I am..typing away..tired as hell as I've  been downing protein drinks and yogurt like they are a shot and a beer and trying to get a handle on this going to be on the operating table business in just 4 days..I keep thinking they are going to forget to cut out the all important 'hunger hormone'..oops..so sorry, we've never missed it before..we'll see how it goes with you..I've got tons to do but zippo energy to do it..hired someone to do the lawn and the outdoor stuff..now I've really got to get this place in shape as I hear there is no energy to be found after the surgery.., but here I sit and procrastinate..like I'm procrastinating for a final exam or something, only this is something I've studied for, but have no idea how I'll do..I plan on doing the exercise, eating right..I can't imagine this whole 'sip sip sip' world people speak of..how much will I lose?  How quickly?   Will people notice?  Will they care>  Will this 'change' me?  Will I be happier?  Is this the golden ticket?  I keep hearing and telling people that surgery is just the 'tool'..will this tool help to enlighten me why I eat too much?  I feel like it'll be a wrench in my side (actually my stomach) to jimmy it shut so I won't be hungry..just this week with doing the pre op diet, I've just never noticed how so much of everything is surrounded by food,..tv ads, restaurants..oh well, enough for now..getting tired..

You've got 10 days!  Is the voice pounding in my head.  Is this really gong to happen?  Nervous/anxious/scared are the few feelings coming up to my head.  I'll get many questions answered in my preop class and going for pre surgical testing today.  Had a tad of a snafu this week as when I put in the 2 weeks to take off, the director said I needed to put 'leave of absence paperwork' in.  All over the LOA papers it says "MUST BE SUBMITTED 30 DAYS PRIOR TO LEAVE' ..this was 2 weeks.  However, it is all working out.  Got the papers and the wt loss office did them pronto and got them back within hours.  Now I have to wait for the Director to sign them and she said she would, so shouldn't be a problem. 

Still dodging bullets at work, do they know, not know, should I tell them...I figure I will after so I won't get negative feedback as I want purely 'good thoughts' going in..

OK, that's it, first blog..over and done with..Good night Gracie..fat lady has sung..
