The count down continues..

I cant believe I am only 9 days away from my surgery!!!  I am so ready for this next chapter of my life to begin!  Someone told me the other day, I cant believe you post these personal things about the surgery, when  everyone else is hiding theirs or just dont like to talk about it.  I think it is a great tool for anyone trying to lose weight, no matter which method, to jot things down.  It helps to get things your feeling out and on paper(ha who uses paper anymore).  i also think if anything I put helps even one person then I feel good.  i say that because the you tube communtiy has really helped me prepare for this surgery.  Women and men who have been honest through all the struggles and good things that have happened to them really helps someone who is just getting ready to join the "losers bench" I also cherish all the advice and encouragement I have gotten from my fellow friends who have also had the surgery.  It is the same for any method of losing weight.  I have a gorgeous friend who lost over a hundred pounds.  She did it with no surgery or medication of any kind.  I applaud her will power.   But i have also learned I will have to be there hitting the pavement excersisng just like she is.  This surgery is just a tool, I still have to eat right, excersise and take care of my body.  I think ANYONE and ANYWAY they are trying to lose weight are wonderful.  It doesnt matter the direction you take to accomplish it, as long as you are trying to make yourself the healthiest you can be..for yourself or your family.  I am totally stoked for the countdown to smaller clothes sizs and shopping in regular stores...I am not going to lie!!  But the main reason I am doing this is to be healthy for my kids.  I am tired of telling them  "later"...."after a While"......because i just dont have the energy to get off my big booty to play or do things with them.  they are growing up in a flash and I dont want to miss any more than I already have.  Everyone has a breaking point and mine was whne I couldnt even get down on my knees to play with my youngest daughter.  Literally couldnt get down without help, and definitely couldnt get up without help.  I am only 32, there is no excuse for that.  I am not making any.  i did this to myself.  I now have to take the steps to better myself. 
Tomorrow I go and register at the hospital and do all my pre-op stuff...so it is really happening. Weird after all the time trying to just get an appointment  I am of course scared, but I am also so exited! 
Oh and I am now on the liquid diet...have to say it has been quite UNenjoyable so far!!!  hehehe
But i am doing exactly what i am told!!! til nesxt time!!  MJ
