4 days until my new life begins...

Well, I am done my pre-op appt and blood work again... and I am starting to get excited about this being it... The Date. I have been doing well on my pre-op diet but it seems like I have only lost 5 pounds so far. Which is at least a step in the right direction... I don't know the time of my surgery yet but I am hoping it is fairly early in the day, since I know I won't be able to sleep the night before. Tomorrow is my Nephew Chase's 5th birthday, and I can't wait to celebrate it with him but I love cake so I will consider it a huge accomplishment if I refuse it but I am going to stick to protein shakes only just in case. His grandparents who are hosting eat very healthy so I know there will be great choices for me there. As for Sunday, Easter Sunday to be exact... I will have to be very serious and pack my own food... You see, Easter is held with my family and my family loves to feast... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I am planning on eating a similar lean cuisine option and eating when they do... and staying clear of the dessert table. I don't care for Ham... So that's good!
