WOW. I went to my doctor over 1 year ago and told him I was interested in Gastric Bypass Surgery. It has taken 1 year and many appointments to get to this point. I look at the clock and see that I have 40 minutes left to eat whatever I possibly could want. After midnight, liquid diet. In less than 48 hours my stomach will be the size of a golf ball. I'm ready for this to happen. But still, it's really scary. I mean there is obviously a reason I need the surgery. So it should be a shock to no one that I really like food. I have spent my life struggling with my love of all things carb-loaded... sugary, fried, starchy, cheesy...my favorite food groups. But right now I am bidding them farewell and I feel a little weepy about it. The idea of never being able to scarf down a big fat bowl of pasta again is sad to me. BUT. The fact is I need this. I am unhealthy. I am always tired. I am uncomfortable all the time. (30 minutes left)
I have decided that writing a blog about this experience will be a great way for me to stay focused. Not that I expect too many people to see this, but having other people read and see how this affects me will be good. I don't know how I am going to feel about any of this after Thursday, but it is really happening.
