5 weeks to go!

Eek!  Only five weeks left until surgery!  It seems so long yet so close.  Next week we will be on a family vacation, the week after my mother-in-law, nephew, and ex-brother-in-law are coming to visit, the next week is my pre-op appointment, the next week all the kids start school, then the next week is my surgery... Holy busy! We also have hair appointments, dentist appointments, school shopping, etc to fit in there somewhere.  Although I'm nervous I'm also feeling pretty good about my choice, I know the recovery is long and hard but I know it'll be worth it.  So far I have my recliner and loose pjs with button down tops to wear after surgery, now I just need to wait for my pre-op appointment to know what else I need.  The folliculitis on my legs is almost gone, which is good because I'm getting hairy!  I can't shave, wax, or go swimming until it goes away...since we're leaving for vacation Sunday it better be gone soon! The healthy eating lessons with the kids are going well, I'm down a total of 6 pounds.  But better than that my oldest has started telling me how good he feels and how he feels great after he exercises with me... After this mornings workout he randomly went and weighed himself (I swear I'm not making this about weight, not asking him to lose weight or anything like that!  I'm just asking him to be healthier) and he cam out so proud of himself, he's down two pounds and he's so happy because he says he's getting healthier and feels nice and light, lol.  I'm just happy that he feels so good about himself.
