16th March 2010
Well its finally arrived. Actually I am not as nervous as I thought I would be, I just want it over and done with. The worst thing this morning was kissing my 5 year old goodbye as he went into school. You can't help but wonder if it might be the last time if something goes horribly wrong and I must admit I could've backed out there and then!! But I have waited 27 years for this and I just looked at my before pics again and am trying to stay positive.
Transform rang yesterday to say they had to put me back from 11 am to 2 pm due to someone with allergies being moved up the list!! Made me half wish I had an allergy... I'm allergic to dog hair but I don't think that counts haha!!
I will be writing up on my blog as soon as I can and hopefully it will all be positive. Thanks for all your support guys 'n' girls (that was for Funk-Punk's benefit, see how I did that!!!) Seriously, it means so much.....speak soon XXXX

Well I had my last drop of alcohol before my op last night!! My older brother and his wife came down to stay overnight and we went out for a curry (my last taste of garlic before my op!!) and onto the local pub for Karaoke night. Just what I needed to take my mind off things, we had a great night and haven't laughed so much in ages. I wasn't going to tell anyone else about my op but the conversation got round to what we would have done if we could afford it and my sister in law told me all about her breast reduction op and what it had done to trasform her life, so I told them about the TT op and showed them my horrible belly (this was before we went to the pub of course!! I would not get my belly out in the pub for reasons obvious to anyone who's seen my before pics, though that may change after my op LOL!!.)They were so supportive and understanding and I'm so glad now that at least someone in the family knows!! My 5 year old presented me with his Mothers Day card that he made at school (he couldn't wait until tomorrow!!)and the words he had written made me cry and I really had second thoughts, all the doubts came flooding into my mind again, why am I potentially risking my life for the sake of a nice tummy? and how would he cope without me? am i really that selfish? Then I remember some of the reasons I am doing this.... I want to play on the beach with him when we are on hols, join in with my hubby when we go to the swimming baths instead of watching them through the viewing window. I re-read some of your blogs and posts and see how this has changed your lives for the better and I am determined not to back out now... Well just 3 more sleeps until my Flat Tum (hopefully) XX

5 days to TT!!
I feel ok until I remember its 5 days until TT then my stomach does a huge flip over. Worried sick really in case something goes wrong but trying to stay positive. Started putting the odd thing in my overnight bag so it really seems like I'm going through with it, plus I've paid in full so what a waste of money that would be!! Taking my Arnica (6c 2 tablets 4 times a day). Starting to examine my belly every time I go upstairs!!!! It really doesn't feel like there is enough to pull down...... PS must know what hes doing though!
