Here it is 1:00 am and for some ungodly reason I am craving corn chips.  I tried sucking on a couple because I know I can only have clear liquids at this point, but, WOW.  All of a sudden I am really hungry and broth, jello or popsicles are not helping.  

I am going to go back upstairs and grab another popsicle and try to go to sleep.

Well, I am 4 days out.  Feeling pretty good.  Although a little tired.  I believe they said that would happen.  My boys are being boys, including my husband.  I did breakdown this morning when I went to take a shower and was draining the drain and spilled it down the sink.  But, it will get better each day.

I will update more tomorrow.

WOW!!!  Tomorrow is my day.  I cannot wait!!!  

I received a card from one of my clients sending her wishes.  I thought that was pretty cool.  

This is my third day of liquids only.  Not doing too bad.  A few small cravings.  I just grab a piece of gum.

Hello all!!  Man I cannot believe how much my stomach is rolling.  It is soo funny because it is not because I am scared but because I am excited that in 3 days (including today) I start my new way of eating (liquid diet) before my surgery.  

I have sooo many plans with my boys, my husband and even my work.  I can see my life becoming more fulfilled.

I am getting soooo excited.  My boss is being awesome.  He knows that I could be out for a while, but he is being really cool.

Everyone keeps asking me if I am scared.  I can't help it, I just start laughing.  I am not scared at all.  I am a firm believer that if it is meant to be, it will be.

My son went through chemo, so I know this will be no big deal.  If he can go through a major ordeal at age 2, I can too at age 41.  LOL!! 

I met with Dr. Chae yesterday.  He is a really awesome person.  Very knowledgeable.  I asked him why he went into this field and he stated "I want to give life not death" .  I said Great Answer.  He made me feel very comfortable.  

Only 2 weeks until surgery.  I am sooooo excited.  My best friend of 30 years is coming out from Florida to help for a week.  Poor thing, she will have to deal with my two boys.  LOL!!

Well, I am not really good at writing but I wanted to add something and maybe I can connect with someone else who is getting ready for the plunge.

I am totally ready for this.  I went to my pre-op yesterday and they probably think I am totally wacko because I am so excited about having surgery.

I have fought all my life with my weight.  Yes, there were times in my life I was not heavy.  More times in my life I was.  I have diabetes and multiple sclerosis.  I was declined for surgery the first time.  They said I did not have enough co-morbidities.  I had a really good laugh at that one.  I contacted all my doctors and they wrote raving statements for me to send in.  I sent them in and boy was that a time to wait for them to approve me.  But, they did and I was bouncing off the walls.
