Way too long!

It had been WAY too long since I have posted. I got so wrapped up in all my surgical date excitement that I have forgotten to post. A lot has happened in the last few weeks. I can't believe it was a little over 2 weeks ago that I got my date and in 15 days I will be in surgery. I have to admit that I really am starting to freak out a lot but I am also just as excited. It is a weird emotion to feel but I am enjoying to roller coaster. I have attended my blended diet review and I think I am all set to be successful!

I have been getting a lot of resistance from my mother, whom I plan on staying with for the 10 days after the surgery. I am getting no support from her which is very frustrating. I do anything and everything for my family and the one time I would really appreciate their support I am not getting it. Her and my brother are being especially rude and cruel. But I will get through it.

I have a great support system of friends so I will rely on them. One of my best friends, Betty, will be taking me to the hospital and waiting with me before I go into surgery and she will be there when I get out. She has been great! I also have a lot of other friends that will be there for me!

I am really trying hard to eat well and it is stressing me out a bit! My pre-op appointment is on Friday and I can not gain any weight between that appointment and my first appointment. If I do then my surgery will be cancelled. I would be so devastated. I am down 10lbs so far and plan on doing a week of liquids and a lot of exercise! I will let you all know how it works out!

The 4th of July holiday was pretty successful! I didn't overeat ALL that much but I did eat some stuff that wasn't so hot for me. I am trying to drink a lot of water to flush it out of me!

Thanks for letting me ramble and I promise I will be better at updating. I really want to document these next two weeks and all the emotions I go through on my journey!

Ciao!
