My Last Day!

It's Sunday night, November 1, 2009 and I'm watching the Broncos play the Ravens on my Tivo. Tomorrow morning I'm having Gastric Bypass surgery. All the anxiety I've felt over the last few days is gone, right now I'm excited. And all I have left to do is pack my bag. Today was a pretty easy day as far the the fasting went. Friday was by far the worst day of the three days, although I am tired of feeling hungry - although it's more of a feeling of empty than hunger. I've had to run to the bathroom a lot today - amazing since I've had nothing to eat for 3 days but it's a good sign that I'm not dehydrated, something that I'm told can easily happen. James has made sure that it hasn't been an issue for me - he's bringing me stuff to drink all the time. It sure is easier with a kind sweety like him to help me along the last few days.

I'm racing through commercials because even though I don't like rib's the Chiles commercials are lookin' good. I thought these last three days would be harder than they were - when they told me there would be three days of clear liquids before the surgery I thought that would be the end of me but like most people will find out, I'm a lot stronger than I thought I would be. I also don't feel as bad as I thought I would. I feel tired but not as weak as I thought I would. Overall things are pretty great. Honestly if I can do it, anyone out there can - just ask my husband. I am the QUEEN of saying no after saying yes. Tomorrow the worst that will happen is pain (baring complications - keep me in your prayers!!) and after having 3 major surgeries in 4 years I can handle the pain - until tomorrow - or until I can type again - I'll see you on the other side!! FYI typing my weight was awful - I have some pictures I've taken and I'll post those next week, please be patient!! :)
