A bit of feelings

Mar 04, 2009

I just realized today that I have five weeks until my surgery day.  It seems like things are happening so fast.  Sometimes I get nervous and think "what exactly are you doing?" and other times I get so excited.  I guess that is normal.  I wish it were already done.  I've been looking at before and after pictures on this website.  That is such an encouragement.  I have to say that the thing I am most worried about is the excess skin.  I read a blog of a gal who worked out and she looked great.  I am thinking about hiring a personal trainer at the local gym. 

I have one more group left before the surgery.  I'm hoping to get there and get more information before having the surgery.  I'm also wondering if I'm supposed to get something from the hospital telling me what I need to do before the day of.  I thought I would need to have some tests done, but nobody has said anything to me.  I find that strange.  I'll call my doctor tomorrow and ask him if I should schedule an appointment.  I know he is the one who will do the physical.  Hopefully, he knows what tests need to be run before surgery.  He's been through this before.

I'm glad to have so much support.  I've told several people including my church group.  It helps!  I believe that anything that must be done in the dark brings feelings of shame.  I didn't want that. 

I currently weigh around 310 pounds.  That is the highest I've ever weighed.  I hope that in a few weeks, that number will be less.  I start my two week liquid diet on Mar 30.

Well, that's it for now.  Thanks for listening!
