Fast approaching..

Wow..is it seriously the Saturday before my surgery?? Is this really the last weekend that I will have my WHOLE stomach. It is kind of a strange thought. So, yesterday I met with the surgeon, and he said I am sure you have some questions and concerns about how you might eat after surgery. I promply replied, "not really, I am just concerned that I am going to die during surgery..I have a four year old!" His eyes about popped out of his head. I am guessing not everyone is as blunt of a person as I am ;) I got the typical response that I knew I would get, but I guess I was hoping to implant into his mind, that I am someone Mom. That I have a lot to live for..so please do not view me as just any other case. I think I am well prepared as far as having everything I need in the hospital as well as afterwards. Plenty of protein, popsicles, yogurt...and even babyfood! Lol..who woulda thunk I would be eating fruit baby food as an adult. It was strange purchasing it. My little man had a breakdown about this all. He is well aware of me having surgery and for the reasons. However, he has spent two nights away from me in his life (one night- two times) and he does not want me being away from him. He also thinks that there is much more of me to be fun...he is four, what can I say to that ;) Its crazy to think I might be "normal" sized this time next year. Wow...so many thoughts..so scared...so excited. I suppose we all felt this way prior, and each emotion I am feeling is normal.
