Off to the Surgeon Tomorrow!

What a week its been!  I've been sick with the flu, hardly had a voice all week which makes being a property manager very difficult!

I've been really open and honest with work mates about the surgery, I thought there is no sense trying to hide it, especially when it comes to losing weight after the surgery I don't want to say its from a diet, thats just unfair to those who do diet.  Also I'd have to explain why I'm only eating mushy foods and tiny portions.  So I've told them the truth.

Everyone at work has been supportive which has been great, although one person has been a little negative.  She wants to know why I can't lose the weight without surgery.  Its hard to get someone who's never had a weight issue to understand how difficult it is to lose weight.  Having to lose 5kgs is NOTHING like having to lose 50kgs.

Diet wise, its going well, I'm having 2 optifasts a day for breakfast and lunch and then a normal dinner.  I've lost 3.9kgs  and I'm not even really feeling like I'm going without.  Just this morning my husband cooked bacon and eggs and while they smelt soooo good I easily said no when he offered me some.  I was content with my coffee and optifast.

I have my appointment with the surgeon tomorrow.  We are leaving here at about 4am and driving down to Brisbane.  I have my appointment in the afternoon and then I'm staying at my sisters place before driving home on Tuesday.

I'm so very excited.  Its all happening!
