    Surgery day, Friday August 23rd.

    I arrived and the hospital at 5:30am and was taken into the OR right around 7:30am. I finally woke up around 11:00am and was in pain and had major dry heaves for several minutes. I stayed in the recovery room for several hours until a room was available. Once I got to my room, I was feeling decent. I had pain pump going and was on oxygen because my levels were low.

    My day is almost here, 5 more days....holy crap!!! This coming Friday, August 23rd I will be sleeved. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am and surgery will be around 7-7:30am. I will be in the hospital 2 nights, barring no complications. I will be off work for roughly 3 weeks. My pre-op diet has been challenging but I'm happy to report I've lost 10 lbs since August 9th.

    I've got everything I'll need for the next few weeks. ...

    I can't believe my surgery is in 13days!!!! The changes to a new, healthier me have begun. I started my pre op diet yesterday, August 9th. I'm on a high protein/low carb for the next 2 weeks. Because my sugar intake is minimal now, my doctor did stop one of my diabetes medications all ready, which is great. I think its important to note that while the next few days are going to be HELL (giving up pasta, breads, etc)...I know this is not a diet, its a lifestyle change.

    I am an emotional ...
