Ugh. I just... Wow. It's coming so soon now. Our whole life has been changing, and now it's going to be permanent. Goodbye tummy. It's been fun, but you're not good for me the way things are.
Hubby and I have been working on this since April. First seeing the Lap-band people, then looking at other options, and finally deciding on the surgeon that our primary care physician recommended. Then starting that surgeon's plan for preparing for the surgery. We've had to gain weight, lose weight, change our diets completely. It's been very hard, craving pastries and pizza. Hubby without his peanut butter cups anymore. Having to stick to our protein and veggies while the others at the table can have pasta and toast. Missing pancakes. Oh, missing pancakes so much... So, here's the plan...
Friday - Pre-op appointment at the hospital. Blood tests, lots of tests, lots of "Just so you know, this could happen." stuff. Stuff to freak me out and scare me.
Saturday - I drink a funny drink and sit on the toilet all day. No food, only clear liquids.
Sunday - No food, only clear liquids, and nothing to do but worry all day while starving.
Monday - I get up really early, shower, go into the scary hospital, and be terrified until they knock me out. A few hours later, I'll wake up and be scared for my hubby until I can see him. I'll get to hurt, sip water, and play on my tablet until it's battery dies. I'll be in a separate room from my husband.
Tuesday - All day in the hospital, getting to hurt, sip water, and play on my tablet until my battery dies again. When I'm feeling okay I can go to Hubby's room to see him.
Wednesday - As long as everything's good, we get to go home. Then we're gonna lie in bed and watch movies or something.
And that's the plan for our grand adventure.
