Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my life....

[DisneyAddict 10]

Tomorrow I go for my preop blood work at the hospital and I guess get checked in for my surgery on Tuesday. I'm really ready for this. I'm so nervous about having given up pretty well all my vices and I've been stripped completely nekkies of my security blankets but I can do this... it's time to poop or get off the pot... there's no option other than TO do it. I've never gone w/o training wheels like this before.

I'm SO SO SO freaking ready for this. I can't wait to see my body again... to not sound like a winded rhino when I just go up the stairs to our bedroom (I'm not even gonna begin to get into actual bedroom activity!!!)... This is the first hurdle for all the great things in my life FINALLY coming to fruition.

Please fates, let me be successful and find my inner skinny bitch. I'm dying to wear tank tops, go fishing and getting a tan again... things I haven't willingly done since 2000!

And how happy you will be ! Just be patient in the beginning and remember it's a re-learning phase ok. . . and yes eat only a couple of bites here and there is normal and so is only being able to sip here and there. . . it's going to feel weird to you and you might have buyers remorse, but it's normal and you'll do fine! Soon you'll be here telling us all about it and then you'll be helping the newbies and giving advise too. . . good luck, you'll be fine and being nervous and "freaked" is very normal. . . but this was my 18th major surgery and i'm still here and yup i was nervous too. . . keep us posted!!! GOOD LUCK

You know, the last time I was in the hospital (aside from visiting) for any length of time was back in 1978..when I was born! LOL This is such a new experience. I think I'm more nervous about the actual hospital stay than the surgery!!!

Do you know I'm mentally calling the surgery my "Factory Reset". That's what it feels like to me... resetting my stomach and reprogramming my brain for healthy eating. I will definitely post again about my own experiences. I think I'm totally prepared for this. I feel like I'm armed & ready.
