Well, my pre-op is on this Thursday! So excited! They called today, and my heart skipped a beat thinking maybe they were going to tell me it was cancelled or that there was a delay. They were just asking if I could come in an hour earlier for my pre op appt on Thursday... Whew!

I am so excited and scared at the same time for surgery. I really think this will be a good thing for me long-term and I can't wait to be on the loser bench. I am trying to prepare for the worse, but I am praying to God like mad that I have a smooth journey. I've been trying to read all the success stories and temper it with all the bad posts I read. I just want a healthy balance of info and a good reality of what could happen.

I am not gonna lie, the pre op phase one diet has not been easy for me and I had a couple slips, but I have lost weight. As odd as it may sound, I am looking forward to the pre op phase 2 (2 week liquids) diet. If I can only drink, I think the temptation of food will be less - for me anyway. It's when I have choices that I get tempted. If I know I can only have liquid... well I just think it will be easier on me - although not very tasty.

I need to pick up on my exercising more. I have been active, but life is getting in the way again of actual workouts like I would like. I need to come up with a plan. I am a planner and love making my little lists... I think it is time for a list! LOL

Well, I will probably blog after my pre-op on Thursday! I got butterflies in my stomach and I just want to have the surgery and get it over with at this point and start on my journey! I am sooooo close!!!!
