Well my lap band surgery is less than 48 hours away now, yeah!!! I have been on my liquid diet now for 15 days now as of today for pre op and am now down 20lbs. It has been a little tough at times, but not near as bad as what I thought. I believe it was because I prepared myself mentally pretty well prior to starting and that really helped me as I believe it will through every step of this journey I have begun.

I am excited about Tuesday, yet still very nervous as I assume everyone is. No one likes having any type of surgery, however when you know what the possibilities are and the likely outcome if you do what you are supposed to do, it all becomes very exciting. So I focus on the long term changes this will bring to my health, my life and my future with my family. It all seems to me to be a wonderful choice and the right decision.

Well one and half more days and then I am in it for life. Will post something again once I am out of hospital and home feeling up to getting back on computer which hopefully will be quickly. Only one night stay in hospital due to my sleep apnea and doc wanting to watch me overnight due to that. Talk to everyone later.. Have a good one!!:cursing:

I'm sure all will go smoothly Tuesday, keep us posted! Best wishes! -BG

Good luck on Tuesday!!!! So exciting. :cursing:
