I wish I was excited as those exclamation points, but alas, I'm not. Today is freaking rough. Surgery is on Monday so I came up yesterday to Jacksonville and I'm staying at my parents' house. And they're having a BBQ.

Awesome.

Luckily, I can eat meat and veggies during my 2 week pre-op diet, but not so lucky that they have slathered everything in BBQ Sauce (15g of sugar, no bueno) and there is fruit and bread EVERYWHERE (also, no bueno). So now I'm sitting my room, mad as hell.

Oh, and for those of you that don't know, my father still doesn't know I'm having surgery. My mother's brilliant idea is to tell him tomorrow night before we go to bed so that we don't have to try and sneak out of the house Monday morning. I'm not too sure how that will go down, but I do know that I will be sleeping with my car keys, just in case.

I'll let yall know how things go tomorrow. I'm just ready to do this already!

Good luck to you on Monday! My surgery is at 12:30pm Pacific time. Wish it were earlier but that's ok. I just want to get it down and start the recovery. I'm going in expecting the worst for the first few days so that I am not shocked. . .LOL! It's been an interesting few weeks as I have been trying to mentally prepare myself that I should eat to live, not live to eat. What a novel concept, huh?

      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.
