I have never blogged before, but I feel like I need someplace to vent my thoughts and emotions, so I'm going to try this and see how it goes. I'm not having a bad day, but I'm feeling very anxious. I'm not a procrastinator - I get things done as early as I can, so I can take advantage of other opportunities that may arise.

I'm on day 14 on my pre-op diet, and I still have 7 days to go. I can't wait to taste real food again. I don't have a scale, so I don't know how much I'm losing on this diet, but I can feel a difference in my clothes, so I'm sure I'm losing something. I was on vacation last week, and I sat at the table and ate broth while everyone else ate most of my favorites. I was really proud of myself, and that gave me the will to keep going into this week. I know I can do this - I have to do this...

My friend that was taking me to surgery just told me she can't get off work. Now I've got to scramble to find someone else to take me, and that is going to be tough, as most of my family is not close enough - and everyone else has to work. I thought I had everything set, I should know that I always need a back up plan. I've got a week to find someone, but hopefully it won't take that long. Moving my surgery is NOT an option I will accept!!
