One Week From Today

[Look@meitsEmily 26]

So Im having mixed emotions about surgery. I am pretty sure I dont want to have it at this point but I am going to continue my pre op diet just in case I do go ahead with it. I have been consistently losing at least a pound a day since Tuesday and got on the scale this morning and gained a pound.... How in the world do I gain a pound when all Im consuming is Meal Replacement shakes and chicken breast for dinner? I even did an intense 40 minute walk yesterday to try to up the loss of pounds. Anyway, I thought I had this in the bag but now I have no idea. There are too many unknowns and possible complications...

Ive been realy scared too. I think the pre op diet makes you crazy and that's when some people really start to question everything. Im concerned because my husband got orders to a new post which doesnt offer bariatrics. Ins only covers vsg at a military treatment facility and im so scared after we move something will happen and we'll have to self pay. I thought the risk of complications was only a few months, not several. Also the general surg dept wont accept me there they said have to stick with original surgeon. they expect me to drive 26hr round trip every couple mo to see my surgeon. i dunno.. We move in 4.5mo and now i'm just not sure what to do. Hope we can both figure this out!

It's the best thing I ever did.
