Today is day 8 on my pre-op diet, a little over a week has gone by and I'm doing OK as far as that goes. Now that It's coming up, this is all happening very fast. I feel like I still have so much to do. I just found out yesterday that I had to do some pre-op blood work for surgery so I've been figuring that all out (When,Where and with Who). My surgeon and support group fam gave me some great tips and advice on what to get and what I'll need to have in the house for after surgery. Which I'm going to try and go shopping today for most of that stuff. I already got some liquid Tylenol (just in case its needed), some broth (which i think I'll need more of) and Gas X (which i heard is a Must to have in the house after surgery. I'm sooo grateful that my mom is close by to help take care of my son while this is all going on. (Thank you mom!). I'm even more thankful that my husband is able to take some time away from training to be there at the hospital with me and help me out at home.
Whats been on my mind:
I'm a very personable person, so I'm warming up to the fact that I'm spilling my business on here more and more. I still yet to tell any of my family members, besides my husband about this blog. I don't want to be judged, and I don't need anyone telling me what to eat and what I can't eat. (That's VERY irritating). I like to think I'm a good mom and wife, so being the one that everyone has to take care of and stepping back a little actually bugs me. I always put people first above myself... That's another reason why I want to have this surgery. I know I need it and it's about damn time I focus on myself a little bit. It's so weird, and I'm sure most of you women that are like me would agree, that you almost feel guilty for feeling this way, but you know what after all is said and done and I'm the healthiest and happiest I've ever been in my life, I'll look back and know I've made the right decisions about this. I'm so ready for this whole process to officially start, meaning I can't wait till I'm fully recovered and on my way to losing the weight and getting healthier and healthier. In the long run I'm not just doing all this for myself. I'm doing this for my family, so they can have me around for a long time, a happier and healthier me, I'm sure will be even more enjoyable. I want to be there for my son till he's old and grey (so hard to picture now) and to grow old and happy with my husband. Who knows after I'm in a better place we might even start to talk about another baby. Hum-mm now that's a subject I'll wait for later. (LOL)
I just want to say Thank you so much to all the people (friends, family, my support groups and so on...) that have supported me thus far.
You've all given me great advice and much needed tips. All without any judgment and with much Love and Respect. XoxoxoX
