Preop appointment

I had my preop appointments at St Francis and Tallgrass surgical today. It was very intense, though most of the stuff I kinda already knew. I am down an additional 4 pounds making my weight loss in one month : 12 pounds. They drew blood, and there were tons of forms to fill out. It does turn out that I am getting the REALIZE BAND instead of the lap band. That is ok by me. They are very similar anyways. The nurses gave me the after surgery diet and looks like I will be on a liquid diet for a while. That is to be expected but I will probably get tire of liquids after a few days. I will just have to deal with that. First there are clear liquids, then the colored liquids, eventually I will move up to normal regular VERY small portioned food. I am looking forward to life with out diabetes and having to take all of the medicines for it.I have even started a walking routine(have done it for the past few weeks) and started incorporating some 2 pound weights into it. It is not long, only about 20 minutes or so, but I always feel great after getting done with it.!
