Tomorrow is the day. 8 hours from ow, to be exact...

*woooooosaaaaaaaaah*

I?ve been trying to avoid (delay?) an anxiety attack?so perhaps this quickie post will help alleviate some of my angst.

Maybe I?m not starting off properly ? see, I AM, in fact, STOKED about this move tomorrow. There are no words, really. Something that I?ve struggled with for 30+ years?will soon be not as much of a struggle. I won?t/can?t say effortless ? as I know I?m in for a pretty rude awaking in a few hours?BUT, rude is probably what works best in this instance.

Today, I just tied up loose ends with GGX, washed clothes, and loved on my mini-G. I?m gonna stay w/my g?ma for a few days post- , so I don?t have a wild 2 y/o trying to climb & clammor all on me?and I can actually get the rest I need (which I KNOW wldnt happen at my house *pfft*).

Not really sure why I?m so nervous. I?ve had major surgery before but I this this is a whole new realm. I do find solace in the fact that I went with a noted surgical Center of Excellence who has taken amazing care of me and made the journey getting to surgery as easy as pie *mmmmmmmm, pieeeeeeeee*.

Dr. Denis Halmi promised to take good care of me, so I?m good w/that.

I was thinking about something last night: as much as I?ve enjoyed (for the most part) being a ?sexy big gurl? ? deemed by others, not myself *lol*, I think I may enjoy being a ?sexy healthy gurl? @ various sizes on down to my goal of 160#) just as much ? if not more. *grin* I?m a foodie at heart, so there will be some moments of struggle (maybe anger, too? *lol* you know that?s a standard feeling in most break-ups)? BUT: no food tastes as good as getting this 140# monkey off my back is gonna feel. BELIEVE THAT.

This is also the perfect opportunity to re-train my eating habits along the way.

Another thought I had? I?m actually looking forward to getting my work-out on. I love to exercise really, but my knees & hips, and back were the ones in opposition. So, at the start, imma get me some Shape Up shoes and get to walking while the weather is still nice, and hit step class once per/week. By the new year, I should be relatively pain free, and will head back to Dr. Sunyatta to get my Yoni work-out & bellydance on.

Yeahhhhhh, mannnnnn. Victory is going to be so sweet. I can almost taste it!

So, until then, my friends?See ya on the other side of anesthesia.

*change soon come ? I BRING IT*

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
