14 days until my surgery.  I will be so glad when this is over and done with.  I am not sure what I am dreading the most.  The post op pain and recovery or the actual surgery itself.  I know I am nervous and scared and that is so not like me :(

But I will be fine, I am a tuff old broad

I gained 3 pounds over the weekend.  Had to have some fajitas and some KFC.  So I do know that I earned those 3 pounds, but now that has put me 8 pounds from my 20 pounds goal.  So I have 8 pounds to lose in the next 14 days. 

Everyone keeps telling me, “why are you trying to lose weight, you will lose so much with your surgery?”  The point is that I am trying to be as healthy as possible FOR my surgery, not just to lose weight. 

I am having major surgery in two weeks, in fact I am having 2 major surgeries on the same day, same table, same surgeon, same old body and I want to be as fit as I can be so that I handle the surgeries the best as I can and recovery the best that I can.  If possible I would not be overweight at all going into this but……

All I know is one life, one body and from now on I am going to look after this one.  I don’t care if I get super thin and look like a super model.  I just want to be healthly.  I want to be able to enjoy life and live life with joy and fun not crippled or dependent on 02 or someone to look after me.  Getting old is a fact of life, but I don’t want to get old and sick, I want to get old and healthy.   No do-overs on life guys.

I wanna get rid of this alien in my stomach and this constant pain in my gut and hopefully stop the Barretts from spreading in my throat, that is not too much to ask for is it?   My doctor told me if the surgery does not stop the Barretts from spreading he is thinking of sending me to the mainland for some laser melting of the lining of the esophogus if it gets too bad.   But that is a long ways away and a whole nother problem we are not even going to think about at this point.

Food wise today, I am back on points and drinking lots of water to make up for having fajitas yesterday and KFC the day before. 

Oh forgot, I was helping DH to clean the shed and I got into a bee nest and got stung like five times.  4 times on my hand and once on my butt!   :(

OUCH!
