Day 3-

I wanted to give an update on how the surgery went. My doctor was a little late on Monday starting the surgery so that was a little nerve racking. The cute little nurse (you know the kind you can't dislike because they're really nice) gave me my cocktail. I started to feel it pretty fast. Everything seemed a little fuzzy. I remember being wheeled into the operating room but I was out pretty quick. I remember being in recovering and waking up, but some nurse yelled at me for moaning. Apparently I was a risk for disturbing others. I didn't even know that I was doing it. Sometimes the nurses are great and then sometimes you get one like that.

I don't really remember anything else from Monday. I know I woke up in my room and my husband and some family were there but I was really in and out. Monday night wasn't so hot. I was really frustrated with myself because I couldn't walk around until about 2am. I was so shaky and I kept getting that clammy sweat. The kind you get when you drank to much.

Last night was a little bit better, but when I woke up at 4 I was in a lot of pain. I think I'm going to have to sleep on the couch because laying flat on my back wasn't helping. Oh, and I had a hernia that they repaired so the surgery took longer than planned. I haven't eaten much, I'm trying to get my water and protein shakes in but its hard when you aren't hungry.

So for now I'm still in some pain, I don't really like to take the pain meds so I'm trying to go without it. My DH is being great and very helpful with the kids. They ask every 5 seconds to see my boo-boos. They're fascinated. lol.

Thanks for all the support guys! I'm trying to catch up on the blogs that I've missed!

The Big Day and BYOC

Tomorrow at 9am I will be banded! I can't believe it. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous, but my excitement is super high. Its a weird feeling. I had a hard time sleeping last night and I expect more of the same tonight. I keep wondering what I will look like thinner. I've been over 200lbs for the last 10yrs. My biggest fear is that things will change. But I know you ladies/guys will keep me in check! So your mission if you choose to accept it is to keep me from turning into a horrible bitch! These last two weeks have not been pretty for my husband and I owe him big time. Due to the lack of calories I have been what they call QBU-Queen Bitch of the Universe.

I wanted to answer Drazil's questions: its in the vlog!!

Thanks guys!

I'm feeling better. I really needed the support. I know the band was my choice, but its still hard to go from eating to not eating in a short period of time.

The hospital called today to get some background info before I come in on Monday. I'm really excited. I've started to tell people at work, I've encountered some postive and some negative reactions. Oh, well. I figured that I would.

Great news, tomorrow night is date nigh for hubby and I. Haven't had one in so long. We're going to Bonefish and my youngest sister and her BF and going to watch the kiddos. It will be nice to have a restaurant meal again. No carbs though! I thought about having a glass of wine, but I don't want to get off track so I think I'll just have tea or water. Just to be out with him alone will be so nice. And I won't have to do the dishes!!

Thanks again for the support. I couldn't go this journey without you guys.

I'm so tempted to cheat

There are only 3 days left until my surgery and I'm so hungry. I've been really positive up until now, but I really feel like I could cry. I've had my shake, 40oz of water and a cup of chicken broth. You would think that my tummy would be the size of a frigging walnut by now and I would not be hungry.

I work with evil bitches too who brought in goodies for a birthday. I know it will be ok and I am really proud of myself for how well I've done so far. But I'm still hungry. :(
