It's been a while since I posted...from the Monday before my surgey to the Monday after, I lost 11.2lbs. It's been harder than I thought only having liquids...I've realized I do not like protein shakes!
 
I'm just ready to have soft foods, and feel like I have the energy to start exercising and being me again. I just didn't react well to the anesthesia, plus having the hernia repaired, plus going back to work this week...I think I've used all of my energy!
 
Next week is a new week, and I'm ready to conquer it. My plan is to rest this weekend and feel even stronger.
 

Banded yesterday...no pain at all. I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and had a hard time waking up, but other than that...feeling fine!
 
Bring on the liquids!
 

Omg! I can't believe my surgery is this close! I'm a little nervous about the pain and/or discomfort from the surgery, but reading what other people have gone through helps!
I have put index cards on my mirrors that say "I'm worthy of being healthy", "I'm not addicted to food", "today is a new day". It has helped me to read those often to change the negative thoughts that I have into positive ones!
We are all worthy of being healthy and happy!

I had my pre-op today...everything went well. First, at the doctor's office, I had to blow 3 times in a tube to measure the air in my lungs. Then, I met with the doctor and went over everything. He's super nice! Then, the nurse took my before pictures! After that appointment, I went to the hospital for my pre-op. the nurse took 2 tubes of blood, blood pressure, height, weight, and went over paperwork and consent forms. Everything is all set...next Tuesday is the BIG day!
