Ok so this just got real!!!
I have been on the waiting list for 5 months and I just got the call today that I am scheduled for my full TT in 2 weeks.
I am so excited, I have been waiting for this for so long! But I am also so nervous!
I have lost 93lbs. And have kept it off for 3 years.
I have been following so many of you and you all look absolutely amazing!!!!
I have so much to do to prepare, getting house ready, kids ready, husband ready(that will be the biggest challenge, to get him to follow routine as best as possible). I am bit of a control freak and that is going to have to go on back burner for the next little bit.....hope I can do this!
Will most definitely have to post pics of before and after.

I can totally relate to you! I am also a bit of a control freak when it comes to my house and kids. Getting my husband prepared was harder than preparing myself! I had my TT in December of last year. Dr. Basu (Houston) prepared me so well and I was ready for the recovery. He explained everything to me step by step so I knew what I was getting into. I couldn't be happier. Best thing Iv'e ever done! By the way, big congrats on losing 93 lbs!! That's NOT easy to do at all! You deserve a new flat tummy!

I am so ready for this!!!!!

So I have been thinking of my TT surgery non-stop ever since I learned of my date. 11 sleeps and counting. Just like a kid waiting for Santa.
I have to admit my mind wonders to the what if's, but I am quick to bring myself back to way I am doing this.
I have worked so hard to loose an enormous amount of weight and I deserve this so much.
I absolutely hate what my stomach looks like and I think I hide it very well.
I have taken some pics and I honestly cannot believe that I am sharing them.....I am so embarrassed.
But what the heck, here it goes. :/

Stressed!!!

Ok so today I had a meltdown.
I am trying to get organized( I am a control freak), have three more days of work left and my hubby came home early( works on the road), with a serious cold!!!!!
Now I have to try nt to catch the damn thing from him.........
He has been great at keeping his distance but omg I am so stressed today.
Seven more days til I get my TT. It is so weird but today I am feeling so overwhelmed.
I know it will all pass and I am glad it is happening today rather then the day before surgery, but good gravy, I cannot believe how emotional I am.
All of my meal planning and prep has been done. Bit of baking left to do for the kids lunches(15.13,7).
One child has a broken leg, cast comes off on Monday morning and then boot goes on.....hope he will be able to get around a bit better since I will not be able to help him like I have been.
I tell , I might need a vaca after all this is over with :)
Ok my rant is done, time to pull up my big girl panties ( won't be big for much longer) and suck it up.
Feel better now ;)

wow, im going for mine one day after yours! we should keep in touch re: recovery. What have you prepped for meals? I need to get thinking about this stat. congrats on your amazing weight loss, how did you get the weight off? the pic of your belly from your hands and knees is awesome as it shows exactly what will be taken off by the surgery. You are going to look amazing! good luck to you and i'll try to practice what I preach and say.. don't stress and worry too much, it will all be over soon!

We should keep in touch!! Be walking the same path for awhile. My nerves have been getting the better of me the past few days. Hope I don't drive my hubby crazy :) Oh ya....the meals I have prepared are mainly casseroles. Throw in the oven and forget about them. And some soups, stews, chili. Lots of baking for my kidlets too. Keep them happy with their school lunches. How are you feeling being so close to TT day?

i have these moments when my heart/stomach just sinks and i think, what the hell am i doing. Im mostly afraid of the recovery, being in pain, feeling helpless and worse, feeling depressed and upset that I did this to myself. I hate not being in control of my body (don't like taking drugs or feeling off) I get really woozy over blood and just have a bad nervous system. I get nauseas easily. Im such a complainer! i'll just have to take it slow and remind myself that it will all be worth it in the long run.
