I have no idea why but the last week has been an emotional on for me. I can cry with a drop of a pin. I think a lot of it has to do with my up coming surgery and me being a worry bug. I know everything is going to be ok, but my emotions get the best of me. The last few days have been so much better. Who knows maybe I just needed to cry and get it out.

Anyways, the other day I received my letter from the insurance that everything will be covered. I was super excited. The 24th I will start my pre op diet for 3 days and then the 27th is the big day. I will be the first one in that day. Not totally looking forward to being at the hospital at 5:30AM but will be happy to start my new life. And with that I truely mean a new life. The doctor finally gave me my goal weight and I could of slapped him. I like to take small steps and he throws the number out there all at once. 140. I don't even remember being 140, maybe like in the 6 grade. lol So all in all that means I have to 160, when you really think about it I will be losing a person or simply my husband. lol. This will be a journey and I know I can do it. Thanks to a lot of you sharing your story I know I can.

Will post later with the results of the pre-op diet..... Stay Tune.
