:whoo:Ok the last I journaled it was the night b4 my surgery. Well I had my suergy yesterday and I feel great! I stopped all of my pain meds after 3pm yesterday. I walked 31 laps total around both of the nurses stations (20 laps yesterday and 11 more this morning b4 I left the hospital. Today is thanksgiving so I di try some mashed potatoes. They went down ok. My throat is still a little soar from the breathing tube during the surgery but other than that minor issue I am wonderful. Getting used to the weird feeling in your chest is something interesting. I am really doing well. People keep saying that I dont look like I had any type of surgery b/c I am moving very well. I am so glad that I diid this. I would recommend this to any one who needs it. I am glad that I chose life again and not a short death. Well see ya soon. Let the pound shedding and health improvement begin.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my life. This journey of mines has been going on for years in my head. I have listened to so many people say that you do not need the lap-band surgery. All you need is a really good excerise program and a great nutritionist. Well damn it I tried all of that and I am tired of the yo-y syndrom that I fall into every year. I had to come to a place where I was sick and tire of being sick and tired of feeling fatigued all the time. I have been to several seminars but the beginning of October 2007 I got real serious about getting a new out look on life. I attended my last seminar of Oct 4 2007 , my first pre surgical appointment, and pyche evaluation on October 16 2007. On October 29 I was told that I was approved for surgery on November 21 2007.( I have the best insurance) I was 363lbs on November 7th 2007, Then on my birthday NOvember 16th I went to weigh in after being on the liver shrinking diet for a week and was 350.3lbs(13 lbs lost). Today I am sitting around excited and nervous all at the same time. I have to be at the hospital @ 6am and my surgery is @ 7:30am., So I will have to get up after 4am to make sure I am there on time. I am late for everything, all the time. I pray that this will soon be the end of that. Well the next time you all here from me I would have had my surgery. Prayers are welcomed and wish me all the best. I am gonna need you guys to help me reach my goals. See ya till next time. Pre-surgical journal.
