    So I had surgery last Wednesday and I am doing pretty well. I went shopping on Revolucion Ave the day after surgery and did some San Diego sight seeing on Friday. When I got home on Saturday, I was exhausted but felt pretty good after some rest. Almost all my soreness is gone except at the port.. and all my scars are hardly gonna be noticable except the bigger one. I am burping a lot.. lol.. but I guess that is better than not being able to burp like I have heard some say.
    I stayed on clears until last night.. I had a nonfat yogurt.. which I think may have contributed more to my gassiness.. but its not too bad. I am still not feeling much hunger. I have been drinking a lot of water and tea.. hopefully that is okay.
    As of today.. I have lost 5lbs since surgery, so that is awesome! I guess I better enjoy it for the next few weeks before I enter BandHell..lol! It is hard sometimes getting past the mental hunger issues. I cooked my kids a pizza last night and it was hard not to eat some, I just remembered that thin would be better than pizza and the money I just spent to get this tool!! It is funny to really start to notice how much I ate when I really wasnt hungry.. it was either out of habit, stress, or just because the food was there!
    This looks to be an interesting and great journey! Thin life.... HERE I COME!!!!!

    My PreOp Journey

    By ladyhart77,

    Okay.. so I have had my date for a week or so now. I am settling into that idea that this is actually happening and I am doing this! In some ways I am so excited and I can't wait until Nov. 11.
    I have a lot of support and I am so thankful for that! My hubby jumped right on board and my mom is very supportive, along with almost all of my family and close friends! I am sooooo lucky!!
    I have booked our flights (hubby is coming with me) and we have applied for our passports. I have also set up childcare which includes grandma, sis, and a close friend.
    Carolyn initially scheduled me for the Marriot but I am gonna change it to the Lucerna.. just like the sound of it better and a fellow soon-to-be-bandster will be staying there to.
    Everything is going so great except.....
    I am trying to quit smoking... It is soooooo hard... I am taking Chantix and today is suppose to be my last day smoking. Hopefully, I can do this... my hubby smokes so that doesnt help.. but I know if I put my mind to it I CAN do it!!
    I am also having some food issues... I have this little devil on my shoulder that is whispering in my ear that I need to stockpile on the jumk for some reason.. I have gotten him under control the last day or so.. because I dont need to gain ten pounds before I start my preop diet in a few weeks... LMAO!! I am considering weaning myself into the preop for the next few weeks. Like having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, and a normal dinner until about three weeks out and then going full blown.
    For some reason, I also seem to be down on myself more than usual.... It's like I feel every little bit of fat on me right now... I feel very unattractive and just dont even feel like accentuating my better aspects.. like the chest.. lol!!
    On the flip side.. I keep thinking about the me that I can be in a year from now! Hopefully.. I will be smaller than I have been in... I cant even remember when! I cant wait to use to normal towels and go shopping and not have to buy plus size. I do worry though... about having skin issues, I already have an "apron"... I just hope it shrinks as I do!
    I know that these are silly worries and I will get through them and thank goodness... the excitement is outweighing the worry!!!
