Well, here it is about 34 hours until my surgery..... I feel relatively calm, actually. Had my panic attack, "what am I doing to myself?!?" last week. I have lost 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks on my liquid pre-op diet so I am off to a great start and hopefully have shrunk my liver down some. I go on clear liquids only tomorrow.
Tomorrow night is the monthly Pasadena Support Group meeting and I plan on making it. When I get home I will have to drink the magnesium citrate (yuk!) and take my meds for surgery and try to get some sleep. I have to be at Methodist at 9:00 am on Tue, July 15th so that means leaving a little before 8:00 am to make sure we aren't late.
I think I am ready for this. I know it is not a miracle cure and I will have to work to keep it off once it is off, but that is ok. It is better than as heavy as I am now and struggling constantly. Here are my latest "before" pics, taken tonight. I will post monthly progress pics until I reach my goal weight.
