Amazing news ! ! !

OMG ! ! ! He's gonna be here in less than 6 hours.

He just called from Baltimore, and said half the team was offered to come home tonight instead of having an overnight layover ! ! ! He told them " put me on that plane, I'm ready to see my family." wubby.gifwubby.gifwubby.gif

I am officially freaking the hell out. Everything on the list is done with the exception of shaving, and that will be done here in a little bit.

I am so elated, and can't believe he will be home so soon. I just can't wait to see him again. Caysen yelled when I told him, and couldn't contain himself.

It's practically over. As soon as I am back in his arms, it will all be a distant memory. . .

Thank you all so very much for all of your support, prayers, well wishes, and love that y'all have given me over the last few months ! ! !

I may not be around for a couple of days, but I'll update as soon as I can with pictures.

Homecoming was amazing. He was walking towards the right side of the exit with a group of other guys. We were standing to the left, and I walked up closer to them, he looked right at me, and looked away. I stomped my feet, and he did a double take, and his mouth dropped. He ran to me, scooped me in his arms, and said " you look so amazing ". It was purely magical. Unfortunately, the airport was dimly lit, and none of the pictures came out worth a damn.

We embraced for what seemed like forever, and then Caysen moved in for his moment. It was precious, but I didn't cry. The higher ups showed up, and checked in their weapons and we headed home. Once we were in the truck, Caysen said the most tear jerking thing, he said " you know what Dad, I never knew it could feel so good to see someone." I almost cried again, but I felt so full of joy that I couldn't cry.

We got home unloaded everything. He played with the dog, then it was "us" time. It was absolutely amazing. We literally fell right back into place with everything. It all felt amazing, emotionally and physically. He has bulked up, but I love it. He was so happy with my results, and he couldn't believe how I looked.

He had to report in this afternoon at 1pm to turn in the issued gear, and hopefully he won't be gone long. We're cooking out on the grill tonight, and going to have a great time. He is so happy to finally be home. Life is somewhat back to normal. I never thought I would happy to see uniforms laying around again. But, it's such a huge relief.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
