13 Days Until Surgery. The Support System.

Me and one of my BFF's!
I am feeling a tremendous amount of support.  Support is so VERY important.  Even since I have been open about this on Facebook I have received many supportive messages.  THANK YOU!

What I will go through will not be all easy.  But worth it.

My husband and kids were a little leery at first.  Now they are either happy for me or trying to be happy for me.  :)  Yet concerned.  We all know this is a very big step. 

My husband this past weekend.... OH MY GOSH... what a sweetheart!!  He was the most supportive ever.  He has his very own post coming up.

A part of the counselling process was to figure out who is supportive and keep them by my side.  I have my husband and kids who have made a decision to support me no matter what.  I have several people at work who are very supportive and encouraging.  I have sisters who are extremely happy for me and supportive.  And I have 2 best friends who are 100% supportive and have also committed to praying for me through this all.  They even took me out the other night and boldly prayed for me and encouraged me.  My final and most important support is God.  Him and I are tight.  I trust Him with this.  :)

The last time I went to my Dr.'s office she hugged me and said that she was so happy for me.  She went on and on about how my quality of life will improve.  I left super excited!

It is so important to keep the positive people close by in order to stay healthy minded about this!!

My "Fast" Update:  I'm into Day 2 of my fast.  Yesterday by noon I broke out into the sweats.  I  couldn't sleep at night.  I was dizzy, headaches, SWEATING (so much!!!) and felt like I was hallucinating a little. I was not prepared or educated about this. Crazy.  I can literally feel toxins coming out of my body.  I lost 7 lbs from morning to night!  Warning: TMI... Going to the bathroom... not pleasant.  My breath... not pleasant (hello breath mints!).  My body odor... not pleasant (yay for showers, deodorant, body spray, body scrub, and all those other pleasant smelling girly things!).  The detox is definitely doing it's job!  It's hard to go through, but it feels good to know the yucky stuff is coming out of my body!!
