Mar 26, 2008
Hello all, I'm almost there. I started the clear liquids this morning, it's 10 pm and not been as bad as I thought it would be. I'm sure I'll "appreciate" it more tomorrow! I was up early this morning fixing breakfast I suppose thinking that meal would somehow last 48 hours until surgery ... wrong!!! I started mixing the protein with my liquids and it's been so much better. I have to be at the hospital @ 8am Friday morning. It's funny how I'm more nervous than when I thought I was having surgery in Feb. I know in my heart I've made the right choice, I'll be so happy when this week is over. I want to start posting my progress more often. I wish now I had journaled the "ride" here a little better. There is so much support on this site, I don't think I could have come out as educated if I hadn't been here. We read so much about the surgery, diets, and the technical issues, but it's nice to hear from real people going thourgh the same thing, and having support from the ones that have already been there. I'm crazy excited and so ready for all the great things that are coming my way. I don't think I'll totally believe it until I wake up after surgery!!!! I'll post more soon, wish me luck!

Well, I haven't been a very happy girl the past few weeks. The day before my surgery 2-21-08 I got a call from my surgeon saying he had to cancel the surgery. I seriously thought for a minute this was some kind of trick he plays on all his patients. ... no trick. :( There was a problem w/ my blood from the hematologist, it had to be redrawn and would take a couple weeks to get the results. My new surgery date is March 28th. This is the first time I've even logged on to this site since then. I wouldn't say I've been depressed the last few weeks, but felt very defeated. It's like being given a present that you're crazy about and someone taking it away. lol Thankfully my spirits are starting to rise back up again and I'm only 2 weeks away. BUT let my tell ya, there was no talking to me that day!!!!! I know I cried into the next day. Hopefully I'll be joining you guys soon!!!! 
2/20/08 Almost There

My surgery is scheduled for 2/22/08 ... this Friday at 7:30 am. I'm in the clear liquid phase, well, only about 2 hours in, check back tomorrow for the real deal. lol I'm starting for the first time to get a little nervous. I've wanted to do this so badly for so long, and now it's finally here. Realizing that I really am going to be thin is such an amazing thought, but still hard to wrap my head around. No complaints though!!!! I'm going to try as hard as I can to stay as busy as possible the next two days and not watch the clock TOO hard!
