Date Pushed Back....

Apr 06, 2011

So, I got a call from the Dr. office yesterday. I have my consent appt on APRIL 18! Well, I wanted my surgery on that date! As a teacher, I was trying to have my surgery the week before Spring Break so I could recover and head back to school after two weeks. Well, looks like that's not gonna happen!  Oh yeah, I was disappointed, BUT now, I think it's for the best. First, I won't be under so much pressure to heal faster than my body is ready. Secondly, I'll move home with my family for a few days so my mama can pamper me! LOL And thirdly, I'll have more time to work on this preop diet. Also, I'm hoping to be able to use this time to REALLY WRAP MY MIND AROUND WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO AND THE COMMITMENT THAT COMES WITH IT! Doubts? Nope, not really!! I really want to do this. I'm just hoping this will work for me. Is it me or has there been more negative post being made on the forum lately! I mean, I'm glad to see and read the good AND the bad, but it's been a little unnerving! But I always read the bad post. I want to know what I'm about to get into, so I appreciate how honest you all have been! Please, keep posting the good, the bad, and the ugly! ....the head hunger, the liquid diet, full liquid diet, the acid, possible thrush, the GAS, constipation... I'm hoping that I won't have any of these problems, but IF I do, at least I'll recognize the symptoms thanks to my OH friends! THANKS!!

But I really wanna use this time to evaluate myself and my brain/will power. Will I drink my water? Will I get my proteins in? Will I take my vitamins? (Incidently, these VITS are GOOD!! Just like candy! ) Will I walk and excersie like I should? Will I use my tool and take advantage of its uses? Will I lose this weight??? Will I reach my goals? Will I???

I'm not expecting a miracle, just praying for the strength and will power to do what I have to do..... Shoot, the surgery itself will be my miracle. I'm so grateful to God for giving me this chance... so here's to stepping out on faith and leaving it all in God's hands!
