a new beginning

[veggietalesmom]

Ok so this is the day that I have been wanting for a few years. I am having WLS .. weigh loss surgery today. I have researched and followed everything that I am supposed to do. I received my approval on my birthday this year. Happy day.

So my husband will be taking me to the hospital in about one hour. Grandma will be staying with the kids. I am in the hospital for  2 days this week.

I have prayed and prayed some more. I do hope that this is God's will.

This is not going to be easy at all. I will be on the liquid diet for about 2 weeks before going to soft foods. I have really been looking over everything that I received from my doctor's group on nutrition and what I can eat and when. I have bought the items for phase I.

Things I am looking forward to:

*shopping in more stores for clothes for me.

*not worrying if the seatbelt will fit on rides

*knowing I can fit in a seat and won't be uncomfortable

*becoming more active with my kids and wanting/being able to do

*playing on the floor and not being a chore to get up.

*donating my current clothes to Goodwill

*wearing the same size as my 16 yo so I can raid her closet.... Ok a girl can dream!
