If Pre-Op Is Any Indication

I went for my pre-op tests this morning. If the admissions people, lab and x-ray techs are any indication of how my surgery is going to go, it should feel like a day at the spa complete with a happy ending. Everyone was enormously positive, patient and kind. So atypical of hospitals, everyone was in a good mood. I heard nothing but great things about my surgeon and found out that many people who work in the hospital have had the lap band procedure and are doing very well.
The liquid diet is holding it's own. I'm still not perfect but I DID weigh at the hospital and it appears that I have lost 4 pounds. It's a start and it better be a permanent loss.
Internets, if I start to lose focus or regain the weight I lose from this surgery, you have my permission to punch me right in the back of the neck. Seriously.
The urge to eat today is very strong. I feel like the end is SO close now that I could loosen up a bit and splurge. And that? Is exactly why I'm going forward with the surgery. My inner voice should be a high paid attorney or a used car salesman, it could talk a dying man into buying a lifetime subscription to a jelly of the month club. Yes superb idea to wreck my liver and stretch out my stomach 5.5 days before surgery. Actually, I could just go ahead and have a marshmallow wrapped in deep fried chicken fat with a stick of butter rolled in sugar for dessert. Not that I've ever done that, but I'm just sayin'.

If you roll the butter in sugar, be sure to sprinkle a little cinnamon on it as well. I'M KIDDING. Don't eat the butter. Your getting so close. Hang in there, dude. A co-worker of mine had gastric bypass (which I know is different, but still!) and she is SKINNY now. Like a toothpick. You can totally make it happen. Just stay strong!
