It's the eve of my life altering surgery. After tomorrow I will have an itty bitty stomach sack there in by making food consumption limited! Woohoo...wait is that the correct response? Hmm, I think so. Soon followed by "WTF" and "What am I getting myself into?"
I decided to take some before pics. To document the journey. Please be gentle with the comments. It's not easy to put yourself out there. My very first post has the starting stats.
Latest weight update. I'm now down to 123.4 kg (272 lbs). So I lost a wee bit of weight. :) That number was as of Sunday evening. I have not weighed myself since.
Here comes the slide show of the before pics.
Again, please be gentle with the comments. It's a before surgery picture. It's meant to show me not at my finest. Please excuse the paint stained pants. These are my lounging pants as most of my wardrobe is packed either in hospital bag or luggage since we are moving shortly after I leave the hospital.
Pre-surgery mental update: Well I just ate some tomato soup and all I could think was this was going to be my last meal with the stomach I have now. From tomorrow on, eating will be a different experience. I find I'm not so frantic and freaked today. I suppose spending the afternoon at the zoo watching all the cute animals helped to de-stress. But yeah, I feel alright. Technically I can still turn back, but if I've held out this long, I'm going all the way! So I'm excited and eager and ready for what's to come. I hope everything goes well at the hospital.
When I finally get released and am up for it at home I'll be sure to post more about how things transpire over the next few days.
Wish me luck!!
