1 week away!

Oct 31, 2011

I am one week away from surgery. I am committed to the liquid diet this week and I am excited to start my journey. I am worried about going back to work after 1 week but I don't have a choice.  I am already down 10 lbs. from where I started. I am hoping I can lose another 10 before surgery. I will be down 20 lbs. That means going into surgery at 235 lbs. That is the weight I was when I got married.

I went and got everything I will need for the hospital. I got gas-x strips and chewables (for after), dry mouth spray, and chapstick. I also got stuff from the grocery store - mashed potato buds, small containers, jello, pudding, refried beans. I have to go next Sunday and get yogurt, applesauce, dry milk, and cottage cheese. I should have enough food for about two weeks out.

Am I nervous about surgery? Not really. I am more nervous about after. What will my relationship with food be like, how much hanging skin will I have, questions like that.
