without inflicting bodily harm on anyone. I have been a tad cranky for the last week.
The diet part wasn't as bad as I expected, even after the nausea and headaches went away after merely 10 days. I didn't ever feel really hungry and usually applesause was enough to fend of a munchie attack. I stayed away from the foods I won't be eating anymore and didn't seem to miss them, except for biscuits. I'm going to miss biscuits. According to my scale I'm down 13 pounds so I made the last hurdle!
Spent the last few days getting caught up at work, cleaning the house, and fighting off a cold. I must not be sick! I've been chowing down on vitamin c, throat lozenges, warm tea and Popsicles. Just have to get through the next 24 hours.
Tonight was part two of pre-op preparation: STERILIZATION! I had to take a shower with "pink soap", use a freshly washed towel to dry off, put on freshly washed clothes, get into a bed with freshly washed sheets...you get the idea. The good news is that I get to do the whole thing over again tomorrow morning, again with freshly washed everything.
Today was "doubt day"; questioning myself about my decision to have this surgery, am I ready for this, am I doing the right thing for the right reasons? The answer is yes! No regrets, no looking back. What am I going to do with a closet full of designer clothes that won't fit anymore; YAY, they won't fit anymore! I already stopped using one type of insulin, YAY, I don't have to poke myself with a needle 5-6 times a day anymore!
So tomorrow is the big day! I check in to the surgery center at 10:15 am, procedure will take a couple hours then I get to stay overnight. Thanks for everyone's prayers and good wishes!
BE BACK AFTER SURGERY...
