Hi Everyone,
I can't believe tomorrow is the BIG day. The day that all of us
anxiously await. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am to have
surgery at 7am. Dr. Klem will be doing my surgery at Central DuPage
Hospital in Winfield, IL (a western suburb of Chicago). I told my
girls (ages 11 & 14) that it was their choice what my "last meal" was
going to be and they chose Subway so we had Subway for lunch. I had
a 6 inch subway melt with lots of veggies on it. We are supposed to
have a light dinner (no bowel prep) so I will just have a protein
shake. I can't believe when I stepped on the scale this morning that
I have lost another 5 lbs. I'm curious to see what I weigh before I
go into surgery tomorrow. I have lost over 15 lbs since my initial
consultation with Dr. Klem in March. Most of the weight has come off
in the past month or so. I have just gotten into a post surgery mind
set. I stopped eating most foods that I would not be able to eat
post of and started cutting back on portions. I can't wait to see the
pounds come off after the surgery.
Please everyone keep me in your prayer and thoughts tomorrow as I
start my journey to "the other side" of weight loss surgery. My
husband still does not want me to have the surgery. In fact, this
morning he told me to pick out the clothes and anything else I wanted
to have buried with me. I think at this point that I have just left
it in God's hands. Please send me well wishes, I can use all the
support I can get.
Dawn from IL
