10 Days to Go!

Wow am I ever getting nervous! I'm a bit under the weather too, but I'm getting lots of rest to take care of that. I think my emotions are a bit whacky too but thank God that Geoff is so understanding. Seems like everything is bugging me these days. Little noises and any deviances to my regular schedule are frustrating the hell out of me. Also I have been more prone to feeling ugly and unattractive. Trying to sell the house through all these feelings, is really tough too, but I'm anxious to get the hell out of Perth. It's such a good thing that I can talk to Geoff about how I feel and how understanding he is with all these rollercoaster rides I've been on emotionally. Most guys would get fed up real fast, but Geoff hasn't even shown that at all. I love you Geoff! Thanks for being here for me through this. xoxo

Tomorrow we are having our Thanksgiving dinner since the kids were gone last weekend. Zach, Brodie and Ryan are here this weekend and it will be my last regular dinner with the family too. Then I get to eat like a weirdo at 4 bites = 1/2 cup per meal. LOL As weird as it may seem, I'm still looking foward to it and can't wait to feel healthy again.

Starting Friday at midnight on October 23, 2009, I must remain on a liquid diet until my surgery. I can have anything that, if put towards a light, I can see through it (no orange juice). Geoff's boss gave him the day off on Saturday the 24th so he could be with me. I have to admit, people at both workplaces have been very supportive and that has helped a great deal. Expecially with me being sick this week, but I toughened it out as much as I could and only took 1 day off.

I'm also meeting alot of people online at www.obesityhelp.com . I will be meeting some of the people face-to-face on Wednesday as well. If you are contemplating or have decided to have this surgery, this website is fantastic for meeting people and getting some of your questions answered. You also have the choice to find an Angel that will follow your steps to surgery, recovery and post op. Your Angel will not only help you, but will also be there to answer your partner's questions.

Thanks to all for your support as well, it's so much appreciated!
