Last night I had my sleep study, and I actually got way better sleep with all those wires on me than I do at home. That leads me to think my mattress at home is, to be blatant, a piece of crap. But, I'm not even going to start mattress shopping until after I am fully healed. One adventure at a time,please! :thumbup:

I am not even really nervous, to be honest. I know that come thursday I will be, but right now I am just so darn excited. I've lost 11 pre-op pounds, and have to loose 4 more by Monday, but on this carnation instant breakfast drink diet, I am really doubting that will be an issue. I don't really feel sad about loosing food the way that I thought I would be. This liquid diet has really put things into perspective for me. I never realized HOW MUCH JUNK I would put into my mouth and never think twice about. Now I pick up a stinkin' cookie and feel so darned guilty I put it down before it hits my lips. And when I slip up and eat it, I am kicking myself in the butt so long for it that I think it over long and hard the next time. What an improvement!

Exercise, on the other hand, it somthing that I still do NOT love. To be honest, I don't exercise. I run around like a mad woman at the hospital I work for, but that is the extent of my workout. I DO realize that this HAS to change, but the thought of picking up weights makes me want to cry. Really. CRY.

Pathetic, right? I know. But maybe I will take up kickboxing, because I saw female kickboxing on TV last night, and I seriously would love to do that. But that makes me a little afraid of getting my port flipped. What if someone kicked me in the port? I feel like that would be SUPER bad!

I'm just rambling here because I have to go get some bloodwork done, and I am seriously procrastinating. I'll come back and ramble some more later, maybe.

Have a good day, beautiful Bandsters!
